This is just an experiment I made up and I have no proof it will work, but I think I have an idea.
1. Prepare a dish and weigh it.
2. Take a potato and cut a section of about 5mm (Not skin) thick off. Place onto dish
2. Precisely measure the mass of the potato and dish using scales.
3. Record results.
4. Leave the dish in a dry place for two weeks and the flip the potato over, and wait another two weeks.
5. Measure the new mass.
6. The initial mass minus the new mass is the amount of water lost.
7. To find the percentage of water, Take the amount of water lost and dived it by the initial weight minus the weight of the dish.
As I said, I just thought of this and have no proof it will work. If anyone else has a better idea, please share.

How does osmosis experiment take place with potato?
Beacause when you put the slice of potato in water osmosis takes place since concentration of water is lower then the concentration of the potato and water moves from ow concentration to high concentration so the water will move into the potato and the potato will become ridgid, But if you put salty water the salty water has a higher concentration then the potato so water will move out of the potato and the potato becomes soft.
Where does the osmosis take place?
it takes place in a plant cell
How does osmosis take place in plants?

What will happen to cell when it mounted in glycerin?
it is isotonic.....so neither ex-osmosis nor end-osmosis will take place
When does osmosis take place?
Its just like diffusion instead, osmosis moves high WATERconsentration to a low WATER consentration.
How does the Transport of molecules across the cell membrane take place?

What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
By definition what is the only substance that carries out osmosis?
The definition of osmosis does not restrict this phenomenon to any single substance. I don't know where you would get that idea. In practice, most of the situations involving osmosis, that are of interest to us, take place in an aqueous medium. But osmosis can occur in other media.
Can one use osmosis during pregnancy to make twins?
i am not sure, because i can not imagine the mechanism for this to take place
Does diffusion or osmosis take place in the nervous system?
Diffusion is the process of cell transfer within the nervous system. It is diffusion of the ions that allows for transport and solubility to complete the process. Osmosis is used in other cellular areas.
What does it take to make osmosis to go backwards?
It requires energy. With a pressure difference, you can revert osmosis.
