SCIENCE INVESTIGATION - AFFECTS OF OSMOSIS ON A POTATO Aim: To investigate how changing the concentration of sugar solutions affects osmosis in a potato. Preliminary Research: Osmosis is the process of diffusion or movement of water particles from a high concentration to a low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. In this investigation, I am using a potato to see the affects of osmosis. There are various factors, which affect this process of osmosis:> Size of potato - If the potato is of a large size it is likely that it will contain more substances. Therefore, it is likely to contain more water, which can affect the process of osmosis, as there will be an increasing concentration of water as the potato's size increases affecting the overall movement of water if the concentration of the solution in which the potato is in is kept the same.> Weight of potato - The change of weight of a potato...
