Answer:

1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride solution

Explanation:

The liquid that would cause the largest decrease in the mass of the potato stick would be the one with 1 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution.

The water potential of a solution depends on the molarity of the solution, the higher the molarity, the lower the water potential and vice versa. Hence, a solution with higher molarity has the tendency to osmotically draw more water from the potato stick than a solution with lower molarity.

Therefore, the potato stick will have the largest decrease in mass in 1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride when compared to the 0.5 and 0.1 mole per dm3 solutions.

Allisa [31]

The eggs become the seed (first zygote), while the surrounding ovary becomes the fruit of the plant (first, the embryo). This process occurs during the fertilization of a plant and is complex in nature but happens all around us all of the time. The fruit that is developed contains one or more seeds at the end of the process.
