Osmosis experiment with parsnip through differing concentration of sucrose.

... Faderera Adeniyi Osmosis experiment with parsnip through differing concentration of sucrose Aim: My main aim in this experiment is to find out if osmosis occurs in a parsnip, and how it affects the parsnip in a different concentration of sucrose solution and water Plan: I will first make a prediction using the knowledge I have on osmosis and I will then carry out the investigation to prove whether concentration affects osmosis in a potato. Using my results I will then try to find a pattern and prove my prediction to be correct or incorrect. After I have done that I will try and find ways in which I could improve the experiment and extend the investigation. Apparatus 1. Parsnip 2. 70% of Sucrose solution 3. Distilled water 4. Weighing scales 5. Stop clock 6. Cork borer 7. 50cm3 cylinder 8. 10cm3 cylinder 9. Pipettes 10. Knife 11. Cutting knife 12. Blotting Paper 13. Test tubes 14. Ruler Method: Simple Procedure: An experiment will be carried out involving putting
