Carry out the following osmosis experiment:
Take four peeled potato halves and scoop each one out to make potato cups. One of these potato cups should be made from a boiled potato. Put each potato cup in a trough containing water. Now,
(a) Keep cup A empty
(b) Put one teaspoon of sugar in cup B
(c) Put one teaspoon of salt in cup C
(d) Put one teaspoon of sugar in the boiled potato cup D.
Keep these for two hours. Then observe the four potato cups and answer the following:
(i) Explain why water gathers in the hollowed portion of B and C.
Reason for the same level of water in cup A:
Reason for increased water level in cup B:
Reason for increased water level in cup C:
Reason for the same level of water in cup D:
Final Answer: Hence, water gathers in the hollowed portions of the potato cup B and C due to the occurrence of osmosis.
