... an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane and this experiment will help us because potatoes are living things so they will use osmosis. And leaving them in a sugar solution of different concentrations will show us two things what the average concentration of a potato is from the start, and whether osmosis actually exists in potatoes. This will work because if we leave potato chips in a sugar solution with a higher water molecule solution than the potato it will get firmer, heavier and longer but if we leave it in a lower water molecule solution it will do the opposite. This happens because the water will move until it is balanced on both sides of the membrane or is in equilibrium. It is not a static system and water continuously flows back and forth along the membrane. Method: Get a cork borer (size seven) press it firmly into the ...
