How Does Sugar Affect The Concentration Of Potato Osmosis
the effect of sugar on the mass of potato
Introduction- diffusion is a passive transport where molecules move from areas of higher concentration to areas of low concentrations. Although the molecule 's movement is random, equilibrium is being sought out. Osmosis is a type of diffusion only It involves water. In osmosis water diffuses from the area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, to diffuse the more molecule rich side. Because cells have selectively permeable membranes, meaning certain substances can flow through the membrane, this allows osmosis to happen to cells in certain solutions. Osmosis can affect the cell in three different types of ways. The cell can become hypertonic,meaning the concentration …show more content…
4.) Poor 50 mL of water into each cup.
5.) Put one piece of potato in each cup (remember to record the mass of the potato that was in each cup).
6.) Let solutions sit for two days.
7.) Take potatoes out of solutions.
8.) Weigh each on a scale separately.
9.) Record results.
Data- No Sugar. Medium Sugar. Lots of Sugar. Amount of sugar: 8.03g. 30.12g
Mass of potato before: 5.57g. 5.35g. 4.88g
Mass of potato after: 6.82g. 4.40g. 2.94g.
Mass changed by: +1.25g. -1.13g. -1.94g
Results- The solution had a Higher concentration the potato lost more mass then when the solution had medium concentration or no sugar concentration. The solution with the most sugar concentration lost 1.94 g of mass while the solution with medium concentration lost 1.13 g and the solution will with no sugar added tends gained 1.25 g of
