What is the importance of potato size in osmosis?

Potato size can affect osmosis because larger potatoes have a greater surface area for osmosis to occur. This means that larger potatoes may have a faster rate of osmosis compared to smaller potatoes. Additionally, a larger potato may have more cells contributing to osmotic processes, which can impact the overall osmotic potential of the potato.
