Why have the lengths of the potato strips changed during osmosis?
The potato strips changed length during osmosis because water molecules moved across the semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. This caused the cells in the potato strips to either gain or lose water, leading to changes in their size and length.
Will changing sucrose concentrations change the mass of the potato?
Yes, through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cellular membrane. Water flows from high concentrations to low concentrations. The mass of the potato will change based on the molarity of the solution it is placed in. CHEMISTRY REFRESHER: molarity is the amount of moles of a substance per liter(of water). If the potato is placed in a solution with a lesser molarity than itself(the solution has less glucose than the potato) then we would expect for the potato to gain water. This is because there is a greater concentration of water outside of the cell wall, so water enters the cell in order to obtain equilibrium. Using the same reasoning we would expect for the potato to lose water if it is placed in a solution of higher molarity
What is the effect of osmosis on the mass of potato?
In osmosis, water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane like the cell wall of a potato. If the external solution has a higher solute concentration than the potato cells, water will move out of the cells, causing them to lose mass. If the external solution has a lower solute concentration, water will move into the cells, causing them to gain mass.
Does lays chips make you gain weight?
Yes. Any type of potato chips, if consumed in high quantities, will make you gain weight.
What makes an egg soaked in water get bigger?
Eggs soaked in distilled water will gain mass and appear dramatically swollen. Eggs in dilute salt solutions will gain mass, and even those in very concentrated solutions might gain mass. Eggs buried in salt or other dry media should lose mass.
Grease in potato chips?
whole bunch, lots, very, good way to gain width.
What are simple solutions for bigger breasts?

What is one very fast way to gain money on runescape involving meat?
Buy some Cooked Meat. Buy some Potato. Buy some bowls. 1. Fill Bowl to make Bowl of Water. 2. Fill with either potato or meat. 3. Fill in the remaining item (e.g. If you put meat first then now put potato or vice versa) 4. Sell your Uncooked Stew(or you can cook it and gain a little profit) on the G.E. You should have received a 281gp profit.
How do the cells in a fish react when it moves from freshwater to saltwater?
Salt controls water absorption so the cells would gain water.
What foods help you gain muscle?
There are lot of foods that helps you gain muscle mass. Chicken breast, Tuna, Sweet Potato, Egg Whites and Red Meat are few of them.
Are potato chips good for you?
Not at all because potato chips are loaded with calories and fats. Generally, potato chips can make you gain weight easily and might cause obesity if eaten too much.
