Question

When testing the tonicity of potato strips, why is the amount of wait time after adding the potato strip an important factor in the experiment? a) The lower the concentration of solute in the solution, more time is required for osmosis to occur. b) The potato immediately absorbs water. c) The higher the concentration of solute in the solution, more time is required for osmosis to occur. d) The potato will spoil, so you have to work quickly.
