|
|
What caused the changes in mass for your carrots? |
Osmosis/ The water entering into/ exiting out of the cell |
|
|
Which carrot had the largest percent decrease in mass? Why do you think this happened? |
the 50% saltwater had the largest decrease in mass it had lower concentration in the water because of the salt. |
|
|
Which carrot had the largest percent increase in mass? Why do you think this happened? |
The tap water had the had the largest increase because it had more concentration outside of the cell. |
|

|
|
