A practical investigation to find the solute potential of rhubarb cells was carried
out in this way:
5 mm squares of rhubarb epidermis were soaked in different concentrations
of sucrose solution for 20 minutes.
After this time the tissue was mounted on a slide and observed under a
microscope.
The number of plasmolysed cells in a sample of 50 cells was counted.
Suggest a range of concentrations for the sucrose solutions.
b Predict the shape of the results curve on a graph of sucrose solution
(x-axis) against percentage of cells plasmolysed (y-axis).
