Studying the Effect of Various Glucose Concentrations on Osmosis in a Potato Osmosis is the process in which water particles move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane until the concentrations are equal. Osmosis has the same basic theory as diffusion. Particles are moving from an area where they are in great concentration to an area where they are in low concentration until the …showed first 75 words of 847 total…

Mine were 3 cm by 1cm.  Let them sit for the same amount of time before taking them out to be weighed. I left them for 20 minutes.  Dry the potatoes before you weigh them. This will remove the excess water from the surface of the potato hence giving you a more accurate result.
