thebest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 We used distilled water, 5%, 10%, 15% corn syrup solutions to test movement of water in and out of cell by observing the mass of taros in these solutions but the mass decreased more for the 10% corn syrup solution rather than the 15% solution which should have shrunk the most since it has the most solute outside the cells so water shoulda moved out the most to find an equilibrium.... What could have possibly accounted for this? And how should I account/mention this in my conclusion ? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanne Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 the syrup isn't homogenous??? WE've also got bizarre data for our practical on osmosis/diffusion in apple and potato. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Did this happen in all of your repeats or just for one data set? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
