the shriveled slice in water. The slice regained its original shape. Based on the observations, which of these statements is correct?
A) The slice regained its shape because salt moved into the potato.
B) The potato slice shriveled because water moved from the salt solution into the slice.

Osmosis is the movement of <em>water </em>from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration across a selectively permeable membrane. Simply put, water passes across membranes into areas where more 'stuff' is dissolved.
In this system, The slice shriveled in salt solution. That means water left the potato's cells. Then the slice regained its shape when placed in pure water. That means water moved back into the cell. 
A) <em>incorrect</em>. Salt does not move across the membrane
B) <em>incorrect</em>. If water moved into the slice, it would have swelled, not shriveled
C) correct. Water moved out of the cell into the more concentrated salt solution
D)<em>incorrect</em>. Placing the slice in pure water does not balance the concentration of salt between the cells and the water.<em />

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

523.035 km

Explanation:

It is given that, a distance of 325 miles is covered on a trip to Europe. In this problem, we need to find how many kilometers will you be traveling.

To convert 325 miles to km, we must know the conversion from miles to kilometers.

1 mile = 1.60934 km

For 325 miles, multiply it by 1.60934 i.e.

325 miles = (325 × 1.60934) km

= 523.035 km

Hence, you will be travelling 523.035 km on a trip to Europe.
