Investigate The Effect The Range Of Concentration Of Salt Solutions Has On The Mass Of Plant Tissues

Question 1

Sugar solutions on plant tissue

Answer 1

Cut up a potato into identical sizes .

Get beakers . Fill them with different sugar solutions , one should be pure water and another extremely concentrated sugar .
Then have a few in between

Measure the mass of each potato slice and then place them into the beakers

Then after 24 hours take them out and dry them then weigh them .

Question 2

What is the results

Answer 2

If the cylinders have drawn in water by osmosis they will have increases in mass .

If water has been drawn out then they will have decreased in mass

Question 3

Dependent variable

Answer 3

Chip mass

Question 4

Independent variable

Answer 4

The concentration of the solution

Question 5

Source of errors

Answer 5

Potatoes not fully dried so the excess fluids would give them a higher mass

If the water from the solutions had been evaporated the concentrations would change
