In an experiment, a student places identical potato strips into three sucrose solutions of concentrations 0.0, 0.3 and 0.6 arbitrary units. After 30 minutes, the percentage change in mass is recorded as +8%, 0% and −6% respectively.
What can be concluded about the water potential of the potato cells compared to the sucrose solutions?
What can be concluded about the water potential of the potato cells compared to the sucrose solutions?
- The potato cells have the same water potential as the 0.3 unit solution.
- The potato cells have the same water potential as the 0.0 unit solution.
- The potato cells have a lower water potential than the 0.6 unit solution.
- The potato cells have a higher water potential than the 0.0 unit solution.
