In an experiment, a piece of potato tissue is placed in a 0.5 mol/dm³ sucrose solution. After 30 minutes, its mass decreases. What does this show about the water potential of the potato cells compared to the solution?
- The cells had the same water potential as the solution.
- The cells had a higher water potential than the solution.
- The cells had a lower water potential than the solution.
- The water potential of the cells cannot be compared with the solution.
