Question

1. predict what will be the change in mass of the potato cells if the cells are in an isotonic environment. % change in mass the answer to this question depends on your answers to previous questions. submit answer 0 / ∞ submissions used score: 0/1 24. look at your data. consider your data points and the curve fit line.

Explanation:

Step1: Define isotonic environment

An isotonic environment has equal solute concentration inside and outside the potato cells, so there is no net movement of water via osmosis.

Step2: Relate to mass change

No net water movement means the mass of the potato cells does not change. The percentage change in mass is calculated as $\frac{\text{Final Mass} - \text{Initial Mass}}{\text{Initial Mass}} \times 100\%$. If final mass = initial mass, this equals 0%.

Answer:

0 % change in mass
