What would happen if you placed a slice of cucumber in distilled water?
If you placed a slice of cucumber in distilled water, the water would move into the cells of the cucumber through the process of osmosis. This would cause the cucumber slice to swell and become turgid as the water fills the vacuoles in the cells.
Which way would the water molecules move in a cucumber slice in salt water?
Water molecules would move out of the cucumber slice and into the salt water by the process of osmosis. This is because the concentration of salt is higher in the salt water, causing water to move from an area of higher concentration (inside the cucumber slice) to an area of lower concentration (the salt water).
When a carrot slice is placed in tap water for several hours why does it become very stiff?
When a carrot slice is placed in tap water, it absorbs the water through a process called osmosis. The water moves into the carrot cells, causing them to become turgid and swell, making the carrot slice stiff. This happens because the water pressure inside the cells increases, providing structural support to the carrot slice.
What would happen if you put a slice of cucumber into distilled water?
there is a high water conecntration in the ditilled water and a low water concentration inside the cucumber so the water molecules will move from outside the cucumber to inside the cucumber through the semi permeable membrane by osmosis.

What happens if a potato slice is placed in pure water?
When a potato slice/piece is placed in pure water, it gains mass and appears to be blown up. This is because the water is travelling into the potato because it has a lower concentration of water inside it.
What contains the most water by volume cola cucumber milk or a water melon?
Watermelon is the answer
What happens if a potato slice is placed in tap water?
If a potato slice is placed in tap water, the potato will absorb water through the process of osmosis. This causes the potato cells to swell and the slice to increase in size. The potato slice may also become softer due to the increased water content.
Did the cucumber in salt water feel different than the one in plain water?
In salt water, the cells in the cucumber will lose water and the cucumber will begin to wilt or droop or feel 'flat'.
