Which of the following describes the activity after the potato is immersed into the water?

Which of the following describes the activity after the potato is immersed into the water? Correct Answer Water moves from the surrounding water into the potato.

B. Water moves across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. Because pure water has a water potential of zero and the potato has a water potential of less than zero, water moves into the potato across the plasma membrane. Plasmolysis would only occur if water moved in the opposite direction, out of the potato cells. When plasmolysis occurs, water leaves the vacuoles, the vacuoles collapse, cell turgor drops, and the plasma membrane shrinks and pulls away from the cell wall.
