Investigating the water potential of Potato tissue. - Essay and Term Paper
Investigating the water potential of Potato tissue.
Introduction:
In this investigation I aim to discover the water potential and solute potential of potato tissue. I will accomplish this by placing potato pieces of equal size into varying concentrations of sucrose solution and examining the percentage change in mass. Then I will plot my results onto a graph and work out the intercept at which the line of best fit crosses the x-axis (concentration of sucrose solution). This will give me the water potential of the potato tissue, i.e., the point at which there is no increase or decrease in mass and the cell is in equilibrium.
Preliminary Investigation:
Introduction:
I have conducted a preliminary investigation to examine the mass change of potato ‘chips’ in 5 different sucrose solutions. This will give me first hand research to help base my Hypothesis. IT would also inform me in terms of which Sucrose concentrations to us......
