The potato will shrivel up and release its water into the sugar water environment in order to dilute the surroundings until the concentration of sugar water is the same on the inside of the cell as the outside.

And This is called Osmosis

Definition of Osmosis : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentrated water to a region of water

What will happen to the two cubes of potato in the beaker that contains concentrated sugar solution after an our?

After an hour in a beaker containing concentrated sugar solution, the two cubes of potato will likely shrink in size. This occurs due to osmosis, where water from the potato cubes moves out into the sugar solution to balance the concentration gradient. As a result, the cubes will lose water and become more dehydrated, leading to a wrinkled or shriveled appearance.


Which contains more reducing sugars potato juice or onion juice?

Potato juice contains more reducing sugars than onion juice. Potatoes are starchy vegetables with higher natural sugar content compared to onions, which are low in sugar. Therefore, potato juice is likely to have more reducing sugars.


What plants produce sucrose?

What is the sucrose molarity of a potato?

What is the journey from the air to a chip on a plate of a carbon?

Carbon exists in the air primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). It is absorbed into plant leaves and used as an ingredient for the synthesis of sugar by means of photosynthesis. If that plant leaf happens to be part of a potato plant, then the sugar may make its way to the root, where it can be transformed into a carbohydrate, and then when farmers dig up the potato, they sell it to a chip factory where it becomes part of a chip which gets sold to a consumer who puts it on a plate, voila.

What is thefunction of sugar in sugar concentrate?

Sugar makes food taste sweet and is by itself a "fuel" for our body. A concentrate means to reduce a large quantity of something into a smaller, stronger quantity. In this case, sugar concentrate will be a smaller amount, but will taste much sweeter and you need to add less of it to give the same taste. Sugar is reduced into sugar concentrate, so it's function is that of a base material.


If you put sugar in a peeled potato what will happen?

Osmosis will happen. The water will move from the potato into the sugar solution. The potato will lose mass and shrink.


What will happen to the potato when place is a concentrated sugar solution?

When a potato is placed in a concentrated sugar solution, water will move out of the potato cells via osmosis, resulting in the potato shrinking and becoming soft and limp. This is because the sugar solution has a higher solute concentration than the potato cells, causing water to move from an area of higher water concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower water concentration (the sugar solution).
