Research Question: What is the osmotic concnetration of specific plant tissues?
Prepare Solutions
Make 2 liter of stock solution of 1M sucrose (C12H22O11) solution. Use can use the Molecular weight calculator to determine the molecular weight.
Using this stock solution, make 200ml with the following concentrations: 0.8M, 0.6M,0.4M, and 0.2M.
Collect and Analyze your data
Cut six (6) 8-cubic centimeter (2 cm X 2 cm X 2 cm) blocks from a potato. The blocks should not include the skin. You can approximate the size, but make sure that it is small enough to be submerged in the containers you are provided with.
