When potatoes are cooked, the heat causes the cell walls to break down as the starch granules inside absorb water and swell. This results in a softer texture, making the potatoes more palatable. Additionally, the cooking process gelatinizes the starches, which further alters the structure and contributes to the creamy consistency often desired in cooked potatoes. Overall, the cellular structure transitions from rigid to more pliable, enhancing the eating experience.
What else can I help you with?
How are potatoes similar to cells?
they are not similar at all!
What happens to cells in potato's during cooking?
During cooking, the cells in potatoes undergo several changes. The heat causes the starch granules in the cells to absorb water and swell, leading to the softening of the potato. Additionally, the heat breaks down the cell walls, releasing the starches and creating a smoother texture in the potato.

Why do mashed potatoes get sticky like glue when over beaten?
The gumminess is caused by starch that has been released from the cells of the potato, forming a paste. This is usually caused by overbeating the cooked potatoes, for example with a food processor or electric mixer. Some varieties of potatoes(such as russets) have larger cells that make it more difficult for starch to escape. Other varieties (such as yellow- and red-skinned) have smaller cells and tend to become gummy more easily. It is widely agreed that the best way to avoid gummy mashed potatoes is to (1) mash them with a hand masher or potato ricer, and (2) avoid over-mashing and over-stirring them.
What happens in the bone marrow of people with aplastic anemia?
The basic structure of the marrow becomes abnormal, and those cells responsible for generating blood cells (hematopoietic cells) are greatly decreased in number or absent.
Why is the potatoes soaked in concentrated salt solution becomes flaccid?
The potatoes become flacid because the salt water drins out the moisture from the cells of the potatoes. This process is called exo-osmosis . The cells lose their turgidity and hence the potatoes become flacid :)
What is the structure of cells?
the structure of cells are usually made up of sex cells
Is boiling potatoes a chemical change?
Boiling potatoes is a physical change, not a chemical change. The heat causes the starch in the potatoes to gelatinize and the cells to rupture, but the chemical composition of the potatoes remains the same.

What are some potatoes called?
The potato is a large root (tuber) made of starch stored by the potato plant. It is designed to feed the "eyes" or sprouting nodes that would re-emerge when spring comes.Inside the potato is tissues, cells, and starch. Potatoes have an internal structure called the medullar layer.
What are the cell walls of potatoes made of?
The cell walls of potatoes are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. These components provide structure to the cells and help maintain the overall shape and texture of the potato. Additionally, the cell walls of potatoes also contain lignin, which provides additional strength and rigidity.
Why do potato soften when put in water?
potatoes soften when boiled because the heat and water, slowly goes into the potato which causes it to soften. 2nd answer: Errr . . . potatoes are saturated with water before they are cooked, so maybe the softening comes from something else. The high heat at which potatoes are boiled (the boiling point) causes a chemical change in the potato's cell walls, causing the stiff cell wall substance to change to a different chemical composition . . . which happens to be much softer. Hence, soft boiled potatoes.
