An overview of an experiment to determine the effects of osmosis on plant cells, through investigating potato chips in different concentrations of salt. The intent was to test the hypothesis that predict that when the potato chips are placed into different beakers that have different concentrations of salt solution, the osmosis will take place at a different rate.
This is a scientific investigation to see if osmosis occurs in potatoes. The test results are inconclusive, but the testers feel they conducted the experiment well.
Details an experiment making key observations about the processes of diffusion and osmosis. Answers why and how particular molecules are able to diffuse through the cell membrae.
Provides the details of an experiment with the aim of finding out the effect of different concentrations of sucrose solution on potato cell samples. Describes the process of osmosis. Presents the hypothesis that as the concentration of sucrose increases that the size of the potato segment will decrease.
