A potato strip is placed in a concentrated sugar solution for 30 minutes. Which observation is most likely, and why?
- It becomes shorter and more flaccid because water moves out of the cells by osmosis.
- It becomes longer and turgid because water moves into the cells by osmosis.
- Its length and firmness do not change because no osmosis occurs in plant cells.
- It becomes longer and flaccid because sugar enters the cells by diffusion.
