Lettuce discs were placed in sucrose solutions of different concentrations. Their percentage changes in mass were recorded.
| Concentration of sucrose solution in mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3mol/dm3 | Percentage change in mass |
|---|---|
| 0.00 | +20.0 |
| 0.10 | +10.0 |
| 0.30 | -10.0 |
| 0.50 | -24.0 |
