Why does potatoes get soggy in salt water?
It has to do with hypertonicity between cells. The concentration of water in salt water is lower than the concentration of water inside the potato. So water will move out of the potato and in to the salt water to create equilibrium, causing the potato to shrink.
Why put potato in salt water?
Potatoes are often soaked in salt water to remove excess starch from the surface, which can help them achieve a crispier texture when fried. Additionally, soaking them in salt water can also enhance their flavor by allowing the salt to penetrate the potato.
What happens when a cell plant is placed in salt. In a potato I made a hole and I put salt on it . In other hand I put this in a cup with water. What will happens in relation a Diffussio aND oSmos?
~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.
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 if you put a whole apple with holes in salt?
the slice you put in the salt will become watery because the salt has sodium in it. the sodium will pull the juice out of the apple
Can a potato float on salt water?
Yes it can, if you put a lot of salt in the water. You'll see that it works it works for a great science project!
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 hapens if you put salt water in a beaker the potatoe cells would do what?
When you put salt water in a beaker with potato cells, the cells will lose water through a process called osmosis. Since the salt concentration outside the cells is higher than inside, water moves out of the potato cells to balance the concentration. This causes the cells to shrink and become plasmolyzed, leading to a wilting or shriveling appearance in the potato.
What happens if you put potato in to a cup of distilled water and salt solution?
God will strike the potato core into oblivion and send it to hell.
What will happen to a potato put in salt water?
In the salt solution the concentration of water inside the cells of the potato is higher than that outside. Therefore water molecules move from inside the potato where there is higher concentration of water molecules to outside the potato where there is a lower concentration of water molecules through semipermeable membrane of the potato cells. This process is called osmosis.
Is there anything else you can use besides a potato for getting rid of excess salt?
Put it In water for a taste of the sea
How would you monitor the effect of different salt concentrations on potatoes?
This is an exercise used to show the osmosis process, and can also be used to determine the salt content of the potato. Each time you put a slice of potato into a different concentration of salt water, you would need to check the feel of it before and after to see if it has become 'flacid' (having lost water the potato cells become flacid or floppy), or if the potato has swollen up. If the potato has lost water, this means that there is more salt outside the potato cells than in it, if it gains water then there is more salt inside the cells than in them, and if it stays the same- you have found the concentration of salt in your potato. Osmosis states that molecules will attempt to even out the osmotic gradient. For example if you get a saucer of water and place a teaspoon of sugar in the centre of the water then let it sit for a number of hours, when you come back the sugar should have diffused throughout the water so there is an equal amount of sugar throughout the solution. In cells, this process is used constantly to maintain the balance of molecules in the body. In the case of the potatoes; the cells can only take in a certain amount of water before they become plasmaloysed and cannot take anymore water, they can also on lose a certain amount of water and are flacid.
