... Finding the water potential of potato cells Aim: Our aim was to discover the water potential of potatoes cells using different concentrations of sucrose solution Science: Osmosis is 'the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a semi-permeable membrane' www.s-cool.co.uk 'Water can move between cells (unligninified) freely as the cell walls are permeable. However its movement is controlled by a number of factors, which are given names; solute potential (), Pressure potential (+ Matrix potential =0 normally)() and water potential (). Solute potential (): this refers to the amount of substance dissolved in the cytoplasm. This effects water movement because water always moves from a less concentrated medium to a more concentrated medium. Pressure potential (): this refers to the pressure exerted by the cell walls. In a plant, the cell will fill with water until the inner membrane is pushing
