Investigation into the Rate of Osmosis in Potatoes and to find out the Sucrose Concentration of the Potato. Introduction In order to carry out this investigation, I first have to define the terms of the objectives so that an understanding is present and a clear process to acquire the answer can be devised. What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the process by which water molecules pass through a partially permeable membrane from an area of high …

…the method itself to find the sucrose concentration of the potato since this seemed like a viable method. However, in extension to the task, I could record the mass of the potatoes at equally measured intervals throughout the duration of the osmosis process. This would give a better idea of the rate of osmosis. I could also expand by applying the same method to other plant cells e.g. the use of different vegetables etc.
