Sugar Solutions Potato Cylinders Measure Masses Steps Needed

Investigating the effect of sugar solutions on plant cells involves preparing potato cylinders of equal size, measuring their initial mass, immersing them in various sugar solutions for 24 hours, and then measuring their final mass after drying.

To investigate the effect of sugar solutions on plant cells, cut potato cylinders, measure their initial mass, place them in different sugar solutions (including pure water) for 24 hours, then measure their final mass after drying.

Front What are the steps needed to investigate the effect of sugar solutions on plant cells?
Back
  • Cut up a potato into identical cylinders and measure their masses
  • Get beakers with different sugar solutions - one should be pure water and another concentrated sugar solution
  • Place one potato cylinder in each beaker and leave them for 24 hours
  • Take the cylinders out, dry them with a paper towel and measure their masses again
