what happens when an empty potato cup is kept in a trough with water ?why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

▪When the potato cap is placed in a tough with water, the potato cap will gradually be filled with water.

▪This is because the potato cap possesses the semi permeable membrane which allows for passage of water through osmosis.

▪The potato may continuously absorb water, swell and becomes turgid this is due to the movement of solvent molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration across the semi permeable membrane.
