Simulation Details
Description
The osmosis process is effectively demonstrated through the use of a potato osmometer, also known as a potato osmoscope. This device showcases the concept of osmosis, where the semi-permeable plasma membrane of the potato allows water molecules from the surrounding environment to enter the cells.
As a result, water is transported within the potato cells from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration, illustrating the movement of solvents across a selectively permeable membrane. Through this simulation, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the osmosis process and the mechanism behind the osmometer, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of cellular transport and diffusion phenomena.
Requirements for this Science Experiment
- A fresh, large-sized potato tuber
- 20% sugar (sucrose) solution
- Beaker
- Water
- Blade/Knife
- Petri dish
- A bell pin needle labelled with waterproof ink
