Will the size of an unboiled strip of potato increase when placed in distilled water for 2 hours?
Yes, because the distilled water has higher water potential as compared the the strip potato, so water will enter the potato by osmosis, through a partially permeable membrane, causing it to increase in size (:
If a 10ml cylinder had a piece of potato that made the water level in the cylinder increase to 16ml what is the volume of the potato?
6 cu.ml
If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air would the water potential of the potato cells increase or decrease and why?
The potato core would decrease because the water would leave the cells, causing the water potential to go down.
Would the water potential of a potato cell decrease or increase when it is allowed to dehydrate?
decreases it - no water then no water potential.
What was the reason for dividing each cylinder of potato tuber into six dish in water potential of potato tuber cells experiment?
to increase the surface area
What do you think will happen to the potato pieces if increase the amount of salt in each test container?
water will leave the potato cells through osmosis making them lose weight slightly
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.
Does potato juice increase sugar?
yes
How does a sweet potato grow?
Sweet potatoes grow best with compost and an organic potato food will increase their size. I start mine from sweet potatoes rooted in water in the winter. When the vines grow from the potatoes, I cut them off the tuber and root them in water. I then plant these rooted vines in the garden after all danger of frost is past and given about 100 days to grow, they will produce new sweet potatoes. The last month or so, do not water the potato vines and this will increase the size of the new tubers.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
What is the direction of water movement in a cylinder of potato tissue in distilled water?
In a cylinder of potato tissue placed in distilled water, the direction of water movement will be from the external solution (distilled water) into the potato tissue due to osmosis. This is because the potato cells have a higher solute concentration compared to the external solution, resulting in water moving into the cells to equalize the concentration gradient.
A Potato Is Cooking In Boiling Water. How Does The Energy Get From The Gas Flame Or Hot Plate Into The Potato?
Energy of flame------->Utensil------->Water-------->Potato
