Answer:

Mark me as the brainlist

Explanation:

Potato is used for making an osmometer because

Water will move from an area of less salt to more salt (more water to less water), and so when the potato is placed in the saltwater, all the water that is inside the potato (yes, plants have a lot of water inside of them, that's what gives a plant it's structure) moves out by osmosis.

Answer 2

Potato is used for making an osmometer because

• Osmosis is the process by which a solution moves from its higher concentration to its lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
• Parts of potato act as semi-permeable membranes thus, allowing the phenomenon of osmosis.
• We first need to peel the potato and then make a cavity at the flat side (containing sugar solution) and place it in a petri-dish having water, for it to act as an osmometer.
