The final weight of the potato was measured and recorded in the table. Which TWO conclusions can be correctly drawn from this data? A In the 0.4 mol/dm3 solution, the sucrose molecules moved across the semi-permeable membrane to go from a lower solute concentration (the potato) to a higher solute concentration (the sucrose solution), leading to a decrease in the weight of the potato. B In the 1 mol/dm3 solution, the water molecules moved across a semi-permeable membrane to go from a lower solute concentration (the potato) to a higher solute concentration(the sucrose solution), leading to a decrease in weight of the potato.
