What does tap water do to lettuce?

If you put the lettuce in fresh water there are more salts in the leaf than in the water, so the water will move back into the cells and make them rigid again, because the cells will swell. So if your lettuce in limp, laying it in water will make it crisp again.


Do potato cubes gain or lose mass in salt water solutions?

depends on the salt content of the potato and how concentrated the salt is. the more salt there is in the water than the potato- the more water will exit the potato which then loses mass.

Does Iceberg Lettuce have more nutrition than other lettuces?

Iceberg lettuce actually doesn't have much nutrition at all...it is mostly water. Greener lettuces, like romane lettuce, are packed with more vitamins and other important nutrients.


Why is it that when you put a potato in a high concentration of sucrose solution does its weight decrease?

This is because the potato, which is mostly water, is in a hypertonic solution (a solution with less water and more solute --here, sucrose-- than the potato). Since the solutions want to reach equilibrium (equal amounts of sucrose and water in both the solution and the potato), water diffuses out of the potato and sucrose diffuses into it. The potato loses its water weight, and sucrose doesn't replace the weight lost, the potato weighs less.


What happens to potato strip in dilute water?

This depends on the concentration of the salt solution. If the water potential of the salt solution is greater (less concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move into the potato cells, increasing the size of the potato strip. If the water potential of the salt solution is lower (more concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move out of the potato cells in the salt solution, decreasing the size of the potato strip.

What happens when a cell plant is placed in salt. In a potato I made a hole and I put salt on it . In other hand I put this in a cup with water. What will happens in relation a Diffussio aND oSmos?

~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
