Aim: To investigate osmosis in plant cells. Introduction: In this investigation I will be looking at osmosis in potato cells. What is Osmosis? Osmosis is a special case of diffusion. Movement of substances take place through the cell membrane which separates the cell contents from the surroundings. Cell membranes are partially permeable, this means that they allow some substances to pass through and stop other substances from passing. When two solutions are seperated by a …

…I also think that I should have chosen more simple percentages investigate, such as : 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. This would have enabled me to have more clear results. Another thing that I could have done was to investigate osmosis in another plant and compare it to my results with potato. I think that my results are reasonable as they show that osmosis does occur and the amount of change varies as the percentage of concentration of solution changes.
