Osmosis Coursework Aim The aim of this investigation is to see how different concentrations of sugar solutions affect the mss of potato pieces. By the end I hope to have found out why we get particular results and at which concentration does the mass of a potato piece stay the same. This means the bathing solution is in equilibrium to the potato cell sap. Prediction In my investigation I think that depending on how strong the sugar solution is that baths potato pieces osmosis will take place in a faster or slower rate. If the sugar solution is strong than (figure 1) will occur. (Figure 1 ) (1) The solution outside the cell is more concentrated then the cell sap. (2) Water diffuses out of the volecule. (3) The volecule shrinks pulling the cytoplasm away from the cell wall, leaving the cell flaccid. (Page 41, figure...
