Question 1.
What is osmosis?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how water moves to balance concentrations!
Question 2.
What happens to potato strips in salt water?
Show hintHide hint
Consider where the water is going.
3Question 3.
What occurs during osmosis?
- Movement of solutes
- Movement of water
- Movement of air
Show hintHide hint
Think about what osmosis targets specifically.
4Question 4.
True or False: In a hypertonic solution, cells gain water.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what 'hyper' means when referring to concentration.
Question 5.
Predict the changes in mass for potato strips placed in 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% salt solutions and explain why each change occurs.
Show hintHide hint
Remember how concentration differences affect water movement.
Question 6.
Discuss potential errors in this experiment and how they could be mitigated.
Show hintHide hint
Think about consistency and environmental factors.
