osmosis on potato

Aim

My main aim in this experiment is to find out if osmosis occurs in a potato, and how it affect the potato in different molar solutions of sucrose and water.

Apparatus

· 6 petri dishes - for all of the six solutions

· Marker pen - to label the petri dish, just in case of a mix up

· Beakers - to pour the solutions into the petri dish

· Stop Clock - to time our experiment

· Cutting tile - to cut the potato on

· Knife - to cut the potato

· 25cm Measuring cylinder - to measure the solutions

· Distilled water - part of the experiment

· 2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 molar solutions of sucrose - part of the experiment

· Potatoes - part of the experiment

· Tissue paper - to dry the potatoes after the osmosis takes place

· Balance - to weigh the potatoes

· Cork borer - to cut out potato cylinders

Planning

Before actually planning the experiment, I will do some research to find out about osmosis, and matters
