The concentration of the cytoplasm in a potato cell is typically around 10-20% due to the presence of various solutes such as sugars, salts, and proteins. This concentration allows for proper cellular functions and osmotic balance within the cell.
When a plant cell is placed in a high salt solution, it will experience plasmolysis, where water leaves the cell due to the higher concentration of salts outside the cell. In the potato, the water in the cup will move into the potato by osmosis to try to balance the salt concentration. This process demonstrates the principles of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis, where water moves across a semipermeable membrane to equalize concentration.
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
When a potato is placed in water, the water concentration outside the potato cells is higher than inside. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water molecules into the potato cells through osmosis, causing the cells to swell and the potato to become turgid. The cell wall of the potato cells helps maintain the shape and prevents them from bursting.
It is not true, they are not identical.
Beacause when you put the slice of potato in water osmosis takes place since concentration of water is lower then the concentration of the potato and water moves from ow concentration to high concentration so the water will move into the potato and the potato will become ridgid, But if you put salty water the salty water has a higher concentration then the potato so water will move out of the potato and the potato becomes soft.
To find the molar concentration of a chemical compound, you need to divide the number of moles of the compound by the volume of the solution in liters. This calculation gives you the concentration in moles per liter (M). The formula is: Molar concentration (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution (in liters).
Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
A potato is not a cell, so a potato is not any kind of cell.
Not necessarily or even usually. The term "one molar" refers to the concentration of the acid added and does not have anything to do with the concentration of ferrous ions.
Example: 0,5 molar concentration of sodium chlorideThe molar mass of NaCl is 58,44 g; so 0,5 molar is 29,22 g/L
The molar concentration of nitric acid can vary depending on the specific solution. However, a common concentration of nitric acid used in laboratories is around 16 M (molar). This means there are 16 moles of nitric acid in 1 liter of solution.
