Investigation to find the effect of different concentrations of sugar solutions on osmosis

Prediction Osmosis is defined as 'the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane' (Collins, 1999). If you get information from books put the copied text in brackets and at the end put the authors surname and date the book was published in brackets. Then put the full details of the book at the end of the course work in the 'References' …

…improve the accuracy further. Although 3 repetitions of each concentration are sufficient, there was a possible anomalous result (circled on graph). This part of the investigation would need to be repeated. Further work could be carried out to include concentrations that increased in 0.1 M rather than 0.2. This would increase the accuracy and improve the graph. Other investigations could include using different varieties of potato or different plant tissues e.g. carrot.
