By putting the potato in a glass which fits about a quarter of the cup then put water in the glass so the water will just go too the bottom of the glass put it in a light spot in a couple of days the potato will start it's roots
How does osmosis experiment take place with potato?
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.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
A Potato Is Cooking In Boiling Water. How Does The Energy Get From The Gas Flame Or Hot Plate Into The Potato?
Energy of flame------->Utensil------->Water-------->Potato
Why put potato in salt water?
First there is no such thing as a "potatoe", it is spelt "potato". Cooking in salted water enhances the flavour of the cooked potato.
What percentage of a potato is water?
Usually the the percentage of water in a fried potato chip is 1.5 to 2.5%
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
What is the direction of water movement in a cylinder of potato tissue in distilled water?
In a cylinder of potato tissue placed in distilled water, the direction of water movement will be from the external solution (distilled water) into the potato tissue due to osmosis. This is because the potato cells have a higher solute concentration compared to the external solution, resulting in water moving into the cells to equalize the concentration gradient.
How much of an potato is water?
Usually the the percentage of water in a fried potato chip is 1.5 to 2.5%
Are potatoes made with cow manure?
No. They are a bushy vine like plant. You can grow your own with a potato that is sprouting and putting half of it in water. It will grow roots and the plant will grow out of the top half.
Why is it that when you put a potato in a high concentration of sucrose solution does its weight decrease?
This is because the potato, which is mostly water, is in a hypertonic solution (a solution with less water and more solute --here, sucrose-- than the potato). Since the solutions want to reach equilibrium (equal amounts of sucrose and water in both the solution and the potato), water diffuses out of the potato and sucrose diffuses into it. The potato loses its water weight, and sucrose doesn't replace the weight lost, the potato weighs less.
