An uncooked potato was peeled. A piece from the middle was cut into two stripes X and Y, each 50mm long. One strip was placed in a strong sugar solution. Another strip was placed in pure water.
After 30 minutes strip X had grown longer. Strip Y had shrunk.
1) What could have happened to the cells in each strip, to make one strip swell and the other shrink?
2) Which strip had been placed in the sugar solution? Explain your answer.
3) The experiment was repeated using straps of cooked potato. Can you explain why?
4) If you had some sugar solution which was exactly the same osmotic pressure as a potato cell and you placed a potato strip in it how, if at all, would it change?
