This lab was conducted to find when plasmolysis and tugor pressure occur. 4cm sections of a potato were cut and placed into 10 different sucrose solutions ranging from 1 mol to 0.1 mol. The potato sections were left overnight, and massed the next day. The change of mass was recorded and compared with the initial mass of the potato. The higher concentrations of sucrose had a greater percent difference in mass than the lower concentrations. The mass reached an isotonic level at 0.4 mol sucrose concentration. From 0.3-0.1 mol of sucrose concentration, the solution became hypertonic, where there was more sucrose solution than water. From 0.5-1.0 mol of sucrose concentration, the mass became hypotonic, where there was a greater water concentration
