This shows that if the potato were placed into high concentration solution the free water molecules would move from the solution to the potato cell. So when a cell is placed in distilled water (high water concentration) water will move into the cell (lower water concentration) using osmosis making the cell swell...

This cell is now referred to as turgid. However if a potato cell is placed in a low water concentration, the free water molecules in the potato cell will move out into the water thus meaning the potato will lose mass. If the potato losses to much water then the cell membrane will break away from the cell wall and the cell will then be referred to as plasmolysed...

Osmosis in a Patato Chip When they take up water via osmosis they start to swell, but the cell wall prevents them from bursting. Plant cells become "turgid" when they are put in dilute solutions...	8 / 2017
Osmosis In Potato Chips This is because the cell is fully turgid and no more water can enter. ? At point C (low water concentrations), there is no indication that the cell is decreasing further in size...	11 / 2901
mr. It is also very important to have a numerical guess which can be tested in the analysis e.g. when you double the concentration the rate will double. Method Apparatus: 1 Molar sugar solution, distilled water, potato, cork borer, mass balance, boiling tubes, knife, labels, measuring cylinder Plan: A range of sugar solutions will be prepared with concentrations from 0...	3 / 575
