Osmosis Experiment Quiz

Which of the following is NOT required for the osmosis experiment?

• 20% sugar solution

• A microscope

• A large potato

• A tile

What is the first step in preparing the potato for the osmosis experiment?

• Filling the potato with sugar solution

• Making a cavity in the potato

• Peeling the potato

• Cutting the potato into slices

How is the potato used in the experiment?

• As a container for water

• As a source of sugar

• As an osmometer

• As a heating element

What causes the rise in the level of sugar solution in the potato cavity?

• Addition of more sugar solution

• Entry of water through the potato cells

• Evaporation of water

• Decrease in temperature

Why does water move from the petri dish to the potato cavity?

• Due to the gravitational pull

• Because of the difference in solvent concentration

• Because the potato absorbs sugar

• Due to the heat from the environment
