Investigate the Water Potential of Potato Cells

Investigation of the water potential of potato cells In my survey, I wanted to examine the water potential of the potato cell. The plant material I will use for investigation will be potato chips, and I will cut it myself before investigating. I want to find the solution concentration of chips that maintain the same mass and length, but this tells us that the moisture potential in the cell is the same as the extracellular moisture potential. Background infiltration is defined as the movement of water through the semipermeable membrane.

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate water transfer to and from plant cells. Cells selected for research are taken from potato tubers. First, let me explain about permeability. Permeation is the passage of water from the high moisture concentration zone through the semipermeable membrane to the low moisture concentration zone. Three important things are included in this definition. A semipermeable membrane is a layer of very thin material that blocks something while hindering others. The cell membrane is semipermeable. They allow small molecules such as oxygen, water, and amino acids to pass through but do not allow larger molecules such as sucrose, starch, and protein to pass through. The area of ​​high concentration water is a very dilute solution such as sucrose or pure water. In each case there is a lot of water: high concentration water. The low moisture concentration range is opposite to the above.

I decided to investigate the effect of aqueous solution / concentration on potato chips. This means I put chips in different concentrations of sucrose solution. These concentrations are these concentrations; 0 moles, 0.2 meters, 0.4 meters, 0.6 meters, 0.8 meters, and distilled water. When red blood cells are placed in water, water invades into the cells. This is called penetration. As the balloon blows too much air, the cells will swell and ultimately rupture. However, when erythrocytes are placed in a stronger salt solution than cells, water exits the cells by infiltration. This is called outpatient. As a result, the cells contracted and contracted (FIG. 5). This is very important to our body, which means that the flowing part of the blood (plasma) in which the cells float must have adequate strength to prevent penetration in either direction.
