What else can I help you with?
A potato slice when placed in water for several hours will become very stiff because?
the water absorbed by the potato slice through osmosis causes its cells to swell and become turgid, increasing the rigidity of the slice. This process, known as turgor pressure, gives plants and plant-based foods their structure when they absorb water.
When a carrot slice is placed in tap water for several hours why does it become very stiff?
When a carrot slice is placed in tap water, it absorbs the water through a process called osmosis. The water moves into the carrot cells, causing them to become turgid and swell, making the carrot slice stiff. This happens because the water pressure inside the cells increases, providing structural support to the carrot slice.
What will happen to a raw potato in water with salt?
you have to slice it first then it will shrink
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 happens to a potato slice in a solution of water that demonstrates osmosis?
the potato slice with decrease in mass, as the free water molecules during osmosis will leave the potato paasing through the semi permeable membrane. This happens because there is more free water molecules on the outsite of the potato, forcing more net movement towards the outside of the potato
What happens if a potato slice is placed in pure water?
When a potato slice/piece is placed in pure water, it gains mass and appears to be blown up. This is because the water is travelling into the potato because it has a lower concentration of water inside it.
What happens to a sliced potato placed in plain water?
It gets softer.
What happens if a potato tubule is placed in a test tube with water?
sprouts will grow from the potato tubule and grow more potatoes..... weird huh?

Does slice of potato contain water?
no.it contains starch...
How does the process of osmosis affect a potato slice that is saturated with water?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. When a potato slice is saturated with water, it means that the cells in the potato have absorbed as much water as they can hold. In this state, osmosis will not have a significant effect on the potato slice because there is no concentration gradient for water to move across the membrane.
Which way would the water molecules move if a potato slice is placed in are water?
Well, honey, water molecules would move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, so they would move into the potato slice to try to balance things out. It's called osmosis, darling. So, basically, the water would go into the potato, making it all plump and juicy.
How does osmosis experiment take place with potato?
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.

in osmosis What happen in potato A and in potato B?
In osmosis, water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In potato A, if placed in a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration), water will move out of the potato causing it to shrink (plasmolysis). In potato B, if placed in a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration), water will move into the potato causing it to swell (turgor pressure).
