Study of Osmosis || Potato Cup Experiment || Transport in plants – Osmosis

‘Study of Osmosis || Potato Cup Experiment || Transport in plants – Osmosis’ is demonstrated in this video tutorial step by step. Materials needed: One raw potato Beaker / bowl Pin Sugar Water Knife Procedure: Take the raw potato and peel off the skin. Cut cube shaped cup from that as shown in the video. You can make some other shapes as well. Prepare a few amount of saturated sugar solution. Pour the sugar solution in the potato cup to a level as shown in the video. Mark the level of sugar solution by piercing the pin. Keep the potato cup in the bowl / beaker. Pour water in the bowl to half of the height of the potato cup. Ensure that the potato cup does not float or submerge in water. Leave the arrangement for half an hour and note your observations. From your observations you can conclude that water always moved towards the sugar solution. Such process, in which water moves towards sugar solution is called Osmosis. We see that the movement of water thr
