Osmosis
Biology · Secondary 4 · Hard · Osmosis
A student sets up an experiment to investigate osmosis using potato cylinders placed in different sucrose solutions.
One cylinder decreases in length from 50 mm to 45 mm after 30 minutes.
What does this show about the water potential of the sucrose solution compared to the potato cells?
One cylinder decreases in length from 50 mm to 45 mm after 30 minutes.
What does this show about the water potential of the sucrose solution compared to the potato cells?
- The sucrose solution has a higher water potential than the potato cells.
- The sucrose solution has a lower water potential than the potato cells.
- The sucrose solution and potato cells have equal water potential.
- No osmosis occurred between the solution and the potato cells.
