Biology · Secondary 4 · Hard · Osmosis
A student places identical potato cylinders into three sucrose solutions of concentrations 0.1 mol/dm³, 0.3 mol/dm³ and 0.7 mol/dm³. The water potential of the potato cells is equal to a 0.3 mol/dm³ sucrose solution.
In which solution will the potato cylinders gain mass due to osmosis?
