Investigation on Osmosis
The following variables will affect the results of the experiment:
- Concentration of the sucrose solution - If the solution used has higher water potential than the sample being tested the mass of the sample will increase. ... I predict this because if the solution in which the sample is placed is isotonic to the inside of the cells within the sample, osmosis will not occur so the plant cell will not become turgid or flaccid. ... If the solution is hypertonic the reverse would happen, water would leave the cells through osmosis and thus the mass of the sample will increase. ...
Conclusion:
The results showed that in different bathing solutions the mass of the chips changed due to the process of osmosis. ... 13 m, meaning that at this point no change in mass occurred at this concentration and therefore osmosis did not occur.
