Discovery of the effect of different concentrations of sucrose solution on the quality of potato chips Introduction The purpose of this study was to observe when infiltration occurs in potato cells and what happens when placed in different concentrations of sucrose solution . I have to use my background knowledge to plan an experiment to tell if the concentration of water molecules in solution affects the quality of plant cells.
In my preliminary survey, we used five concentrations of sucrose to determine if concentration affects penetration. I now decided to use 9 different concentrations of sucrose solution ranging from 0% to 100%. I did this to confirm that I have a series of results that I can draw. I also put chips into the solution for 5 minutes; I think the time is not enough for penetration. I believe that perhaps longer time will make more infiltration. In the final experiment, soak the tip in the solution for 10 minutes to increase the osmotic activity.
Sucrose solution: Sufficient concentration is required. This makes it easy to display abnormalities and trends in the results and obtain accurate conclusions. Sucrose solution is used in my experiments as it helps to determine whether permeation is occurring. I was going to use different concentrations of sucrose solution, as the purpose of my study was to understand how penetration is affected by the concentration of sucrose solution. Measuring cylinder: In my experiment, we use this cylinder to measure the amount of sucrose solution. I decided to use a measuring cylinder instead of a beaker to measure the amount of sucrose solution. Because the beaker was made to + 3 ml or -3 ml. Using a graduated cylinder, my results will be very accurate. Using a cylinder means that each concentration is accurate
Amount of Sucrose: The amount of sucrose is the variable I am about to change. This is because the sucrose concentration will be diluted by changing the volume of sucrose but keeping the amount of solution stable. So from there I kept results of different concentrations of penetration. Time: Each experiment must be recorded for a firm time. Even if it is too long or there is enough time for water molecules to enter and leave the potato it will not result in incorrect results. If there is not enough time, there is not enough time for intrusion. In order to guarantee fairness and guarantee similar results, it is necessary to keep time constant during the experiment.
