Describe an activity to shiw the transportation of water from cell ti cell using a piece of potato also draw a diagram

Dear Student,

You can use potatoes to set up Osmosis experiments.

Cut a potato in two, and immerse one of the halves in a very salty solution of water --- one containing a quarter cup of salt in a cup of water.
Immerse the other piece in tap water containing no added salt.
Leave both in their respective solutions for half an hour, then remove the potato halves from their solutions and observe their differences.
The one in the salty solution will have shrunk, indicating that water is diffusing from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution.
The one in the tap water solution, in contrast, will actually swell slightly, indicating that it is taking in water.
