It melts
Osmosis will happen. The water will move from the potato into the sugar solution. The potato will lose mass and shrink.
It surely enlarges in size and becomes squishy,
It would die.
Explain what would happen if a piece of seaweed from the ocean was placed in a fresh water aquarium?
i swear you be on that 5 in the morning but im workin
They would die because fress waterfish are meant for fresh water not salt water
me dont know
The fish will get sick and die.
Due to osmosis water will flow to where there is a higher concentration of solvent and the solvent will flow to where there is less concentration (if it can). So, if you put it in salt water, the water will flow out of the cell because it will dilute the extra solvent (salt) outside the cell. And if you put it in fresh water, water will rush in because there is more solvent in the cell.
It would expand and then explode. sorry Explode :P
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.
~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.
