A group of pupils was asked to investigate the effect of osmosis on the diameter of discs of potato tissue. The procedure is outlined below: 1. A large diameter cork borer was used to cut a cylinder of tissue from a peeled potato. Five discs, each 2 mm thick were cut from the cylinder Four discs were transferred to separate petri dishes. The diameter of each disc was measured from graph paper placed underneath the petri dish. 20cm3 of glucose solution of different concentration was poured into each of the three dishes. 20cm3 of water was placed into a fourth petri dish. The apparatus was left for 30 minutes and the diameter of each disc was measured. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Diagram 1 below shows the apparatus and Diagram 2 shows how the diameter of a disc was measured.

The results are shown below. Tissue a) b) c) d) e) f) Volume of oxygen collected in 3 minutes (cm3) Potato 5.0 Liver 39.5 Apple 0.5 Carrot 3.0 Which tissue contains the least catalase? Which tissue contains the most catalase? Name two factors (not connected with the apparatus) which must be kept constant to ensure that a valid comparison of the tissues can be made. Briefly describe a suitable control for the experiment. Explain why several samples of each tissues should have been used and an average volume of oxygen calculated. Another plant tissue containing catalyse was used in the experiment. It contains more catalase than carrot, but less catalyse than potato.
