  • Investigating the Effects of Varying Sugar Concentration on the Amount of Osmotic Activity Between the Solution and Potato Tubes

    1264 Words  | 3 Pages

    Investigating the Effects of Varying Sugar Concentration on the Amount of Osmotic Activity Between the Solution and Potato Tubes Hypothesis: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement takes place across a partially permeable membrane e.g. a cell wall. This means that the cell wall will let smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules

  • The History and Origin of Potatoes

    580 Words  | 2 Pages

    at 5.8-6.5 ph. Potato plants are very adaptable, and will grow even if the soil conditions are not perfect. They grow in the early spring, when the soil is about 45 degrees Fahrenheit. They can take a little bit of frost, but can’t take late winter temperatures, or snow. But before you put any of this knowledge to use, you must buy certified growing potatoes. These are selectively bred for growing, and are guaranteed to give a good yield. (The Garden Helper) The history of the potato ranges all the

    The Effect of Placing Pieces of Potato in a Sucrose Solution [IMAGE]Osmosis Osmosis What is osmosis? If two solutions of different concentration are separated by a semi-permeable membrane which is permeable to the smaller solvent molecules but not to the larger solute molecules, then the solvent will tend to diffuse across the membrane from the less concentrated to the more concentrated solution. This process is called osmosis. Osmosis is of great importance in biological processes

  • Biological Effects on Potato

    2775 Words  | 6 Pages

    Biological Effects on Potato Potatoes, like all other vegetables contain the enzyme catalase, which breaks down the toxic waste product of hydrogen peroxide. Potatoes have an unusual response to long exposures of light, where the chemical properties are altered within the cells. This can be seen as the surface changes green in colour. Storage conditions of potatoes are therefore important, to ensure potatoes remain in the original state after cultivation. Within this assessment, the effects

    feed a lot of people compared to other birds such as chickens (Trex, 2008). Although the turkey is the most important food on the table for most families, it is common for most families to also serve some sort of sweet potatoes, for example, a sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. As Thanksgiving is a feast holiday a dessert is usually also served, one of the most common desserts on Thanksgiving is a pumpkin pie. The pumpkin has been around for hundreds of years, and always been a part of thanksgiving

  • Investigation of the Concentration and the Effect of Sucrose on Osmosis in Apple and Potato Tissues

    Investigation of the Concentration and the Effect of Sucrose on Osmosis in Apple and Potato Tissues INTRODUCTION: - I will be doing an investigation on the topic of Osmosis (A special type of diffusion). The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of sucrose concentration on osmosis in apple and potato tissues, to find out how the concentration of sucrose solution affects the mass of potato and apple strips. So therefore to find out about the uptake of water into a cell which

That is really hard to achieve, but we can think about popular food in some other way which considers that the word popular doesn’t always mean the best. This is where potato chips take its winning place. They became very

  • The Effect of Salt Solution Concentration On The Mass Of Potatoes

    The Effect of Salt Solution Concentration On The Mass Of Potatoes Introduction ============ In my investigation to find out how salt solution concentration affect the mass of potatoes, I will investigate how much the mass of a potato changes if I leave it in a beaker of water with a specified salt concentration for half an hour. I will change the salt concentration after each experiment. Background Knowledge -------------------- Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from

  • The Solute Concentration of a Potato

    649 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Solute Concentration of a Potato To find out what the solute concentration of a potato is, this shall be done by finding out the effect of Osmosis on a potato. Prediction: That if there is more water outside the potato than inside, the potato will increase in size. If however there is less water outside the potato than within, then I shall expect the potato to shrink in size. I think this because of the laws of Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable

    of water molecules causes the cells to become either turgid, which is when the cells are filled with water, or flaccid, which is when the cells are 'limp' with little water. Aim To find the concentration of sucrose in cells of carrot and potato. Osmosis When a substance such as sugar dissolves in water, the sugar molecules attract some of the water molecules and they stick to the sugar molecules. This means that there are fewer free water molecules in the solution. When two different

    How Osmosis In Potatoes Is Affected By Solution Concentration Aim To investigate how the concentration of a salt and water solution affects the rate of osmosis in a potato. Osmosis Osmosis is the passage of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, through a partially permeable membrane (a membrane which allows small molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, ammonia, glucose etc to pass through, but does not allow larger molecules

    of the solution in the vacuole of the potato. Prediction I predict that when the potato chip is placed into the water solution, its mass will increase because that water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration. When the potato chip is placed in 100% salt solution, I predict its mass will decrease. Variables * Concentration of the salt * Size of the potato chip * Time of incubation * Variety of potato * Skin on potato chip * Temperature * Volume of water

    What is so extraordinary about a potato? Potatoes became a beneficial source of nutrients around the world. Potatoes originated in South America and were given to the European travelers who took them back to their lands and began to plant them. From the beginning of the first migration which dates back to 8,000 BCE, there have been potatoes.

  • Aluminum Essay

    1631 Words  | 4 Pages

    Aluminum induces cross‑resistance of potato to Phytophthora Infestans This article is about an experiment done to try to see if Aluminum can cause resistance in potatoes to a disease. Aluminum is commonly found in arid soils which accounts for 35% of all farmable on earth. The aluminum (specifically Al3+) targets the roots of the plants and causes stunted plant growth and abnormal root formation. THis causes stresses in the plant which could lead to cross resistance. This immunity has led to some
