<strong>Lab</strong> 7: Osmosis<br />
5. Would this experiment work with other plant cells? What about animal cells? Why or why<br />
not?<br />
6. From what you know of tonicity, what can you say about the plant cells and the solutions<br />
in the test tubes?<br />
7. What do your results show about the concentration of the cytoplasm in the potato cells at<br />
the start of the experiment?<br />
8. If the potato is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in open air, would the potato cells be more<br />
likely to absorb more or less water? Explain.<br />
9. Could this experiment be performed with other solutions (i.e., sugar)? Why? Design an experiment<br />
to test the effect of different solutions (be sure to include controls) on tonicity in<br />
plant cells. Note: Use something other than a potato in your experiment!<br />
