Potato cores of equal mass were submerged in sucrose solutions of 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 M for 24 hours. The percent change in mass was recorded.
Approximately what is the molarity of the potato cytoplasm?
- A
About 1.0 M
- B
About 0.8 M
- Ccheck_circle
About 0.3 M
- D
About 0.0 M
Explanation
The line crosses zero percent mass change near 0.3 M, the isotonic point where water flux is balanced.
