Question

1. you determined the water potential of the potato to be -9.8 bars. you determined the water potential of the celery to be -9.92 bars. compare their water potential, osmolarity, and solute concentrations. water potential osmolarity solute concentration potato a c e celery b d f higher lower

Explanation:

1. Water Potential: Water potential is more negative when water is less available. Since celery's water potential (-9.92 bars) is more negative than potato's (-9.8 bars), potato has a higher water potential, and celery has a lower one.
2. Osmolarity: A more negative water potential corresponds to higher solute concentration/osmolarity. Celery's more negative water potential means it has higher osmolarity, while potato has lower osmolarity.
3. Solute Concentration: Higher osmolarity comes from higher solute concentration. Celery's higher osmolarity means it has a higher solute concentration, and potato has a lower solute concentration.

Answer:

	Potato	Celery
Osmolarity	C. lower	D. higher
Solute Concentration	E. lower	F. higher
