Answer:

Water: more water will move into the cell than will leave the cell.

Starch: Starch will remain inside the potato cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

In this case, according to the given information, and the chart, it is possible to infer that the water molcules outside the cell will have the capacity to move inside it, via difussion, as more concentration is outside, creating a potential able to induce the process. In addition, the amount of molecules of water that get into the cell is greater than those leaving it, because of the aforementioned.

Moreover, since no starch molecules are outside the cell, there will not be any potential inducing the difusion process, for that reason these will not move anywhere.

Thus, the correct row states:

Water: more water will move into the cell than will leave the cell.

Starch: Starch will remain inside the potato cell.

Regards!
