Biology Coursework Helen Wilkinson 11 CHW 11set1 Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the affects of a potato in different molar solution of sucrose and water. Ultimately, I would like to find the molarity inside a potato cell. Diagram Hypothesis I have researched the topic of osmosis and have found out osmosis is the diffusion of water particles from a high concentration to a low concentration of water particles. This movement of water particles occurs through a partially permeable membrane. A partially permeable membrane have very small gaps which only the smaller water molecules can fit through therefore pass in and out of the object, the large sucrose molecules are unable to fit through at all. In the experiment I wish to complete, the small holes in the potato membrane will allow water to pass either into the potato tissue or into the solution around the tissue. If the solution around the potato were...
