Water potential in potato cells was determined in the following manner. The initial masses of six groups of potato cores were measured. The potato cores were placed in sucrose solutions of various molarities. The masses of the cores were measured again after 24 hours. Percent changes in mass were calculated. The results are shown below. a. Predict what would happen to typical animal cells placed in 0.0 M and 1.0M sucrose solutions, and explain your prediction.
