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.
If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air would the water potential of the potato cells increase or decrease and why?
The water potential of the potato cells would decrease because as water leaves the cells through osmosis to the drier environment, it causes the concentration of solutes inside the cells to increase, lowering the water potential.
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.
Are the cells in a large potato larger than the cells in a small potato?
No, the size of the cells in a potato is generally similar regardless of the size of the potato. The difference in size between a large and a small potato is due to the number of cells present, not the individual cell size.
Why did water diffuse out of a potato in a test tube of Na Cl?
Water diffused out of the potato because of the high concentration of salt (NaCl) in the surrounding solution. This created a hypertonic environment, causing water to move out of the potato cells through osmosis in an attempt to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cells.
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.
Will osmosis take place if potato is not peeled?
Yes, osmosis can still occur if the potato is not peeled. The cell membrane of the potato cells will still allow water molecules to move in and out of the cells, resulting in changes in the concentration of solutes inside the cells.
Why does it get damp in the potato osmosis?
During the potato osmosis experiment, the water molecules move from the area of higher concentration (outside the potato cells) to the area of lower concentration (inside the potato cells). This movement of water causes the potato to absorb water and become damp.
What would happen when exp osmosis with boiled potato and how can this be improved?
When a boiled potato is placed in a solution with a higher concentration of solute, water molecules will move out of the potato cells, causing it to shrink and become wrinkled. To improve this, you can immerse the boiled potato in a hypotonic solution, where the concentration of solute is lower than inside the potato cells, to allow water to move back into the cells, making the potato firm and hydrated again.
What are effect of osmosis on potato strips?
This depends on the concentration of the salt solution. If the water potential of the salt solution is greater (less concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move into the potato cells, increasing the size of the potato strip. If the water potential of the salt solution is lower (more concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move out of the potato cells in the salt solution, decreasing the size of the potato strip.
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.
What is the control of the cell?
The Nucleus is the boss of the cells inside the bodies of Plants and Animals.

Perform an activity to explain endosmosis exosmosis?
You can place a piece of potato in a concentrated salt solution. Endosmosis will occur as water moves into the potato cells due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cells. Conversely, placing the potato in distilled water will result in exosmosis, as water moves out of the cells to dilute the higher concentration of solutes inside the cells.
If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air would the water potential of the potato cells increase or decrease and why?
The water potential of the potato cells would decrease because as water leaves the cells through osmosis to the drier environment, it causes the concentration of solutes inside the cells to increase, lowering the water potential.
