How does boiling a potato effect osmosis?
Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
What can be used to replace potato in osmosis?
Any root vegetables would be good. Some good ones could be yam or sweet potato.
Description of osmosis?
osmosis means the movement of water from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient, through a SEMI-permable membrane, osmosis is 'complete' whene both sides are in they state of equalibrium this means when the water molecules are evenly spread out. e.g. a potato clyinder in a water beaker, the water particles in the potato is greater than in the beaker of water, and so as the definition says '...from a high to low concentration...' the water molecules transferr from the potato to the beaker of water. If you don't get it ur dumb
What is the control in an experiment to demonstrate osmosis?
If you are doing the experiment with potato or similar (other plant tissue) then you boil the potato you are taking the sample from before you use it, to shoe that the plant tissue needs to be alive for the experiment to work.
What is your conclusion to osmosis?
Osmosis can be defined by many example one is when slices of the potato are mixed with a high concentration of salt solution we can see the potatoes are shrink because the water from potato moves to the salt solution. Osmosis may occur when there is a partially-permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. When a cell is submerged in water, the water molecules pass through the cell membrane from an area of low solute concentration (outside the cell) to one of high solute concentration (inside the cell), this is called osmosis. The cell membrane is selectively permeable, so only necessary materials are let into the cell and waste left out. Plant cell under different environments Osmotic pressure is the main cause of support in many plants. The osmotic entry of water raises the turgor pressure exerted against the cell wall, until it equals the osmotic pressure, creating a steady state.
Can peeled boiled potato go through osmosis?
yes peeled potato go through osmosis.
why do i need to remove the skin of a potato for osmosis?
to make chips or mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes.
If you put sugar in a peeled potato what will happen?
Osmosis will happen. The water will move from the potato into the sugar solution. The potato will lose mass and shrink.
Why does a microwaved potato not rot and a boiled potato does?
Only because the boiled potato is cooked with water, which can possibly get moldy.
Should you include Boiled potato in your diet?
Boiled potato is very good for health instead of fried one. You can add pepper and salt with boiled potato and eat. We can give boiled potato to our young children at the age of 1 year. Even old age people can eat boiled potato. Fried potato only should not take much.
What does happen when you put salt on a boiled potato and then put it to glass of water?
i swear you be on that 5 in the morning but im workin
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
What organism is used in the osmosis experiment?
A potato is used in the osmosis experiment.
How does length and width of a potato affect osmosis and also how does the mass of the potato affect osmosis?
If a potato has a larger surface are:volume ratio, it will be affected by osmosis more quickly that a potato with a smaller surface are:volume ratio. Presumably a potato with a larger mass will have a smaller SA:Vol ratio, and as such will be less affected.
What is a Boston baked potato?
A potato that is boiled, peeled then deep fryed
Does boiled potato contains fat?
Boiled potato still contains fat, containing about 0.1g of total fat, but this is a very low figure.
How does boiling a potato effect osmosis?
Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
