Investigation to determine the water potential of potato cells. Planning Aim Carry out an experiment to determine the water potential of potato cells. Variables Independent Variable The variable that will be changed in this experiment is concentration of sucrose solution. I am using this variable because preliminary results show that this method is the best to use to determine the water potential of the cell contents. Dependent Variable The variable that will be measured is the mass change of the potato chips I can use these results to determine the average mass change per gram of the potatoes and I can then find out what the isotonic solution is for the potato chips, the concentration for the isotonic solution for the potato chips is the molarity of the potato cell contents and using this I can find out the water potential of potato cells. Control Variables There are many factors which control osmosis and the water potential...
