    The document describes an experiment on osmosis using potatoes. It involves setting up three potatoes - two raw and one cooked - with cavities, one raw potato and one cooked potato having salt added to their cavities while leaving the third raw potato empty. When examined later, the salt in the raw potato dissolved due to osmosis pulling water into its cavity from the water tray, while the salt in the cooked potato remained solid since its dead cells prevented osmosis. The third potato saw no water uptake as there was no osmotic pressure.

    III. PROCEDURE
    The procedure consists of the following:
    (1) Set up Three potatoes that are utilized, two raw and one cooked. Each one has a cavity and is
    placed in a water tray. The cavities of one of the raw potatoes and one of the cooked potatoes are
    filled with salt. The other raw potato's cavity is left unfilled.
    (2) When the potatoes are examined later, the salt in the raw potato has dissolved in water, but the
    salt in the cooked potato has remained solid and has not dissolved in water.
    (3) The third potato is devoid of water. This is what happened in this case. Osmosis caused the potato
    cells around the salt-filled cavity to release water into the cavity. This water is taken from the
    tray's water supply.
    (4) The cooked potato cells are dead, osmosis does not occur. As a result, no water is pulled in,
    leaving the salt dry. Because there is no salt in the third potato, the cells do not produce enough
    osmotic pressure to pull in water.
