When placed in a concentrated salt solution, the carrot will lose water through the process of osmosis. This will cause the carrot to shrink and become limp as the water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the carrot) to an area of lower concentration (the solution).
If a raisin is placed in a low concentrated sugar solution, water will move from the high concentration inside the raisin to the low concentration solution, causing the raisin to swell up and become plump as it absorbs water through the process of osmosis.
If a raisin is kept in a salt solution, water will move out of the raisin due to osmosis. This will cause the raisin to shrink and dehydrate as water flows from an area of higher concentration (inside the raisin) to an area of lower concentration (the salt solution).
When a potato is placed in a concentrated sugar solution, water will move out of the potato cells via osmosis, resulting in the potato shrinking and becoming soft and limp. This is because the sugar solution has a higher solute concentration than the potato cells, causing water to move from an area of higher water concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower water concentration (the sugar solution).
If an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm (hypotonic solution), water will move into the amoeba through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This is because the higher concentration of solutes inside the amoeba creates a gradient for water to move into the cell.
Raisins are dried grapes. The inside should be the dried flesh of the grape. They may have been treated with sulfur dioxide and/or sulfites for color retention or extending shelf life.
The water in the dialysis bag would diffuse out into the molasses solution. This is because there is a high concentration of water inside the dialysis bag and a a lower concentration of water in the molasses solution. By diffusion or osmosis, the water would tend to move from the concentrated bag to a less concentrated solution.
if this is an osmosis questions. the one in sugar will shrink and the one in water should swell up. in the sugar solution the concentration or [] of sugar is high outside therefore the water moves from inside the potato to the outside to try to equalize the []. the opposite is true for the potato in distilled 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.
A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called hypertonic. This means that the solute concentration in the solution is higher compared to the solute concentration inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water and shrink due to osmosis.
The raisin swells in a hypotonic solution because there is a higher concentration of water outside the raisin than inside. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water into the raisin, causing it to swell as it absorbs water and increases in size.
