Question

shaquan placed a potato slice in a salt water. after some time he noticed that the slice of potato became limp. why did this happen to the potato slice

Answer 1

It has to do with a process called osmosis. The potato is made up of tiny, living units called cells. ... That means that if the wateroutside the cell is saltier than the water inside, water will move from the inside of the cell to the outside. As the water left the cell it was much like letting the air out of a balloon. Hope this helped

Answer 2

The potato lost water to its surroundings.
