What else can I help you with?
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.
What was the reason for dividing each cylinder of potato tuber into six dish in water potential of potato tuber cells experiment?
Dividing the potato tuber into six discs allows for multiple replicates to be tested for each water potential solution, increasing the reliability of the results. It also ensures that any variations in the samples can be accounted for, providing a more accurate representation of the water potential of the potato tuber cells.
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 (:
What others example of once living things besides ice and coal?
water
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
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.

What happens to potato strip in dilute water?
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.

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
Would the water potential of a potato cell decrease or increase when it is allowed to dehydrate?
decreases it - no water then no water potential.

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 (:

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.
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 are three example of matter besides water that are transported by ocean currents?
energy
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
A hydropower reservoir is an example of what kind of potential energy?
A hydropower reservoir is an example of gravitational potential energy, where the stored water has the potential to produce electricity when it flows downhill through a turbine.
