What else can I help you with?
Which statement would the lawyer have made before his imprisonment from the story The Bet?
That space monkeys dont potato all the way to pizza and back without losing their blasted firewood.
Can you use potato starch instead of corn starch to make slime?
No, it won't work. potato starch is just shredded potato, so the potato would just dissapear in the water and the water would be sticky.
Is it possible to conduct a scientific experiment without the control variable?
you can conduct the experiment but it will not prove anything because you will not have anything to compare it to. For example, if you soak a potato in salt water and it grows in size, how would you know if it was the water or the salt that made it grow? You would have to soak a potato in plain water and one in salt water to see what happens.
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 happen to a raw potato kept in salt water?
If it was placed in a salty solution the potato strip would shrink because the outer solution has a high salt concentration so the water in the potato strip would get out through osmosis and would try to balance the solution
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 water potential of the potato cells would decrease because as water leaves the cells through osmosis to the drier environment, it causes the concentration of solutes inside the cells to increase, lowering the water potential.
What happens if a potato slice is placed in tap water?
If a potato slice is placed in tap water, the potato will absorb water through the process of osmosis. This causes the potato cells to swell and the slice to increase in size. The potato slice may also become softer due to the increased water content.
Which way would the water molecules move if a potato slice is placed in are water?
Well, honey, water molecules would move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, so they would move into the potato slice to try to balance things out. It's called osmosis, darling. So, basically, the water would go into the potato, making it all plump and juicy.
When strip of potato was placed in water did it shrink?
When a strip of potato is placed in water, it typically does not shrink; instead, it may swell. This is due to osmosis, where water moves into the potato cells, causing them to become turgid. If the potato strip is placed in a hypertonic solution (like salt water), it would lose water and shrink.
Which main tissue would you expect to primarily make up a potato?
Which main tissue would you expect to primarily make up a potato
What happened to the level of the tap water inside the hollow potato?
The level of the tap water inside the hollow potato would decrease over time due to osmosis. Water from the potato's cells moves into the surrounding tap water, which has a lower concentration of solutes, causing the potato to lose water and the water level in the hollow section to drop. This process continues until equilibrium is reached or until the potato is no longer able to release water.
Would a potato get heavier if you place it in salt water?
No a potato will not get heavier if placed in salt water, and does it really matter if it does? Do not ask stupid questions. Keep it simple.
