DISCUSSION:
When the potato strips were place into a petri dish fill with distilled water
the initial length of potato strip was 6cm and initial texture of the strip was
hard. when the process of osmosis was completed there were some the
changes. The final length to the potato was hard rigid. the salt solution
concentration that undergo some changes the initial length of the potato was
hard when the process of osmosis was finish the final length became 5 cm
and the final texture was flop strips
Osmosis is a process by which molecules to a solvent tend to pass
through a semipermeable into a more concentrated one osmosis attend the
length in distilled water by increasing the via osmosis more water molecules
mole pure or volume so it pushes against thee cell membrane and the
proximate cellular cell wall the push of the water.
Cause it expansion this process is described as turgid osmosis in the
salt solution the length areas in number of water molecules results in loss of
volume. The turgor pressure excreted by the water molecules against the cell
membranes and constantly the cellulose cell wall is less. The cell may even
shrink they turgor pressure diminishes further.
The function of osmosis on plants are; plants use osmosis to absorb
water from the soil to the roots help to maintain the turgidly (shape) of the
plant cell, if the play a key role in the movement of water and other
substances for, one cell to another and it also enable the plant to over come
harsh condition such as drought and frost.
The beaker was covered during the experiment because it helps to
prevent external factors such as air from entering don’t need to be improve
and it doesn’t have any limitation.
CONCLUSION:
It can be concluded that the potato strips increase in pure
water/distilled water and decrease in salt concentration.
