Explain why some of the potatoe cylinders increased in mass

Read the explanation section.

Explanation:

The increase in the mass of the potato, which is strip in water, happens because of the movement of the water molecules into the potato cells. It occurs via the osmosis process.

Water molecules in the petri dish are at a higher concentration than water molecules in the cytoplasm of cells of the potato and so move along their concentration gradient into the cells.

As the cells of the potato get more water, its mass becomes increase.

in situ hybridization has been widely used for research applications, including clinical cytogenetics, gene mapping, tumor biology and studies of chromosome evolution.
