The concentration of the cytoplasm in a potato cell is typically around 10-20% due to the presence of various solutes such as sugars, salts, and proteins. This concentration allows for proper cellular functions and osmotic balance within the cell.
~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
Yes, molar concentration is the same as molarity.
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
When a potato is placed in water, the water concentration outside the potato cells is higher than inside. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water molecules into the potato cells through osmosis, causing the cells to swell and the potato to become turgid. The cell wall of the potato cells helps maintain the shape and prevents them from bursting.
Yes, molarity and molar concentration are synonymous terms used to describe the concentration of a solute in a solution.
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.
It is not true, they are not identical.
A potato is not a cell, so a potato is not any kind of cell.
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.
By applying the formula: No. of moles = Mass of compound / Molar Mass of compound eg: We have to find concentration of KMnO4,so ; No.of moles of KMno4 = Mass of KMnO4 / Molar mass of KMnO4
Not necessarily or even usually. The term "one molar" refers to the concentration of the acid added and does not have anything to do with the concentration of ferrous ions.
