Document Summary

Determining the relative osmotic concentration of potato tuber cells. For this experiment, we are observing and analyzing how water enters and exits cells, particularly the potato tuber cell. We examine what affects and determines osmosis, which is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low to high solute concentration. Osmosis is necessary to map water intake in plants and study how organisms transport materials throughout their bodies. Water tends to travel to an area with greater free energy so that it can bond and interact with other water molecules (see lab manual 2013). In order to predict where water will travel, we look at the inside and outside of the cell membrane and take note of each side"s tonicity. When comparing solutions of different concentrations, the one that has more solute is known as hypertonic, and the one with less solute is known as hypotonic.
