Question

Which of the following factor is responsible for regulating the size of the potato slices during osmosis?

• A. Increased salt concentration
• B. Increased pressure
• C. Increased temperature
• D. Increased humidity

Answer 1

The correct option is A Increased salt concentration

Osmosis is based on the difference in concentration gradients. This makes the concentration of salt a vital element in regulation. Hence increased salt concentration is the factor responsible for regulating the size of potato slices during osmosis.

So the correct answer is 'Increased sal concentration'.
