cell sap concentration relates to the amount of solutes in the plant cell and hence can be measured by osmotic gradient
In order to measure the cell sap concentration in the potato chip you will need:
(1) several beakers
(2) solution of some measureable substance
(2a) solute - eg. salt or sugar
(2b) water
(3) potato chip - in pieces
You measure out various concentrations of the substance in the beakers and label the concentrations
You place the pieces of potato chip in the beakers
If the potato chip swells up - then the cell sap concentration is greater than the concentration of the solution in the beaker.
Look for a higher concentration solution and try again.
In this manner, document the cell sap concentration in a potato chip.
