<p>Hey, can someone help me answer this AP Bio lab question about rate of osmosis and diffusion?</p>
<p>If a potato is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air, would the water potential of the potato cells become higher or lower? Why? </p>
<p>Thanks so much in advance!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it is higher. The cells need water in order to become normal size again.</p>
<p>this confused me for so long. I doubt the OP will actually look at this but…

Conversely, if water will go in the solution, the water potential is lower (negative)</p>
