dedylja [7]
<span>In one sample, the potatoes that have more sugar will also have more water that will diffuse into them. Potatoes are hypertonic in relation to pure water,simply put, they will gain extra water weight as well as displace more water than potatoes that are lower in sugar. In a separate sample, potatoes that have a higher concentration of sugar will also lose far less water due to their lack of hypotonic nature. Those with lower sugar will easily loose more water.</span>
