Isotonic Point of Potato Cells by api-309088423 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This experiment aimed to determine the isotonic point of potato cells by soaking potato cubes in sucrose solutions of varying molarity and measuring changes in mass. Potato cubes soaked overnight in solutions more concentrated than 0.3M lost mass, while those in solutions less concentrated than 0.3M gained mass, indicating that 0.3M is the isotonic point where water moves into and out of the cells in balance. Graphing the percent mass changes showed a trend line crossing zero at 0.3M, supporting the conclus
