Will the size of an unboiled strip of potato increase when placed in distilled water for 2 hours?
Yes, because the distilled water has higher water potential as compared the the strip potato, so water will enter the potato by osmosis, through a partially permeable membrane, causing it to increase in size (:
Why did the potato in distilled water gain increase in mass?
The potato gained mass in distilled water due to osmosis, the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this case, the concentration of solutes inside the potato cells is higher than that in the distilled water, causing water to enter the cells. As water moves into the potato, it causes the cells to swell, resulting in an increase in mass.
Why don't potato cells swell and burst when placed in distilled water?
Potato cells have a tough cell wall that provides structure and support, preventing excessive swelling and bursting when placed in distilled water. The cell wall is made of cellulose, a strong polysaccharide polymer that helps maintain the cell's shape and integrity.
What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
Why is it ok to drink distilled water but detrimental to red blood cells?
1) Red blood cells placed in placed in distilled water cannot reach equilibrium so they will lyse due to osmosis.2) Water you drink is assimilated into the body through the gut...it doesn't just hit the bloodstream or any other unprotected cells.
When a peeled potato is placed in distilled water it will .......as a result of osmosis. if some salt is added to the potato will?
When a peeled potato is placed in distilled water, it will swell as a result of osmosis, as water moves into the potato cells where the solute concentration is higher. If some salt is added to the potato, it will cause the potato to lose water, leading to shrinkage, as the salt creates a higher solute concentration outside the potato cells, drawing water out.
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.

Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
When the onion and cheek epithelial cells was placed in the distilled water?
eat cholate
What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
Why the potato becomes turgid in water in osmosis?
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.
What term describes the condition of plant cells after being placed in distilled water?
Plasmolysis describes the condition of plant cells after being placed in distilled water. In plasmolysis, water exits the cell by osmosis, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall. This results in the cell shrinking and the cytoplasm pulling away from the cell wall.
What happend to the piece of potato immersed in a distilled water?
The potato will likely get bigger or explode because of osmosis, which is a type of diffusion using water. Diffusuion is the process by which molecules move from areas of high concentration to low concentration areas.
Brad placed a drop of blood in some distilled water. What happened in the red blood cells?
When Brad placed a drop of blood in distilled water, the red blood cells experienced a process called osmosis. Since the distilled water is hypotonic compared to the intracellular fluid of the red blood cells, water entered the cells, causing them to swell. If enough water enters, the cells may eventually burst in a process known as hemolysis.
