water potentials are different because the two cells do not consist of the same amount of solute. The concentration of the white potato cell was approximately .23 M of sucrose, while the sweet potato was .59 M of sucrose. While a white potato consists of some sucrose, the sweet potato consists of .36 M more. When both were placed in a 1.0 M sucrose condition, the sweet potato lost only 2.19 grams while the white lost 5.82 because since the white had less concentration of sucrose, it required…
