Question

In plant cells, water potential is a crucial factor that determines the movement of water through osmosis. This experiment investigates the water potential of potato cells immersed in various sucrose solutions, ranging from distilled water to 0.8M concentrations. Understanding how different sucrose concentrations affect water movement will provide insights into cellular osmoregulation. By measuring changes in potato cell mass, we can infer the water potential of the potato cells relative to their environment.

Water potential is the tendency of water to move from one area to another, influenced by solute concentration and pressure.
