A student investigated the effect of a high-concentration sucrose solution on the water potential of potato tissue.
For one potato cylinder:
Calculate the percentage decrease in mass of the potato cylinder.
Use the equation: percentage decrease in mass=decrease in massstarting mass×100\text{percentage decrease in mass} = \frac{\text{decrease in mass}}{\text{starting mass}} \times 100percentage decrease in mass=starting massdecrease in mass×100
