Question

when we add salt to a cup containing a potato having a hole on top what happens? does endosmosis occur or exosmosis occur?

Answer 1

Answer:mark brainliest

Explanation: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 salt water, 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

in the given figure we can see that endosmosis has taken place because the water level rises from the one which was marked initially with the pin.

A represents a field potato where the potato acts as an osmoscope through which osmosis occurs. the potato SPL because the potato peel does not act as a semipermeable membrane and hence would prevent osmosis from occurring.

For endosmosis to occur the solution kept inside the potato should be of higher concentration hence it is a sugar solution.

Similarly for and osmosis to occur potato should be kept in a solution of low concentration or plain water. Water hence moves inside the potato as it contains a solution of higher concentration.

So the correct option is ' A- peeled potato, B- Sugar solution, C-Water'.
