Osmosis

Aim

To find out the effects of different concentrations of glucose on the mass of a potato chip and find its osmotic potential.

Introduction

In this experiment, I will be attempting to find the osmotic potential of a potato cell.

Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
The definition contains three important statements:
1. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
2. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
3. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
