Aim: Investigate the movement of osmosis through a selectively permeable membrane, in this case potato. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi permeable membrane, separating solutions of different concentrations. The water passes from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, until the two concentrations are equal in concentrations of water. Many cell membranes behave as semi permeable membranes, and osmosis is a vital mechanism in the transport of …showed first 75 words of 2279 total…

…showed last 75 words of 2279 total…disadvantage of this, is the fact that if one of the two results is inaccurate, the mean will also be. I believe that this is the reason for the anamalous results. I could extend this AT1 by investigating osmosis with a different factor as opposed to concentration of water. I could investigate the effects of temperature on osmosis, or surface area. This would give me a very clear understanding and knowledge of osmosis in potatoes.
