Context and data
Comparable plant-tissue cylinders were immersed for the same interval in sucrose solutions at the same temperature. The table gives mean masses from three independent cylinders at each concentration. These original classroom data describe this tissue and method; no water-potential calibration is supplied.
| Sucrose concentration / mol dm⁻³ | Initial mean mass / g | Final mean mass / g |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2.00 | 2.18 |
| 0.2 | 2.00 | 2.06 |
| 0.4 | 2.00 | 1.94 |
| 0.6 | 2.00 | 1.80 |
| 0.8 | 2.00 | 1.68 |
