Students performed a laboratory experiment to determine the molar concentration of red potatoes. they cut cubes from a whole red potato and massed them. they placed the cubes into various sucrose solutions, whose molar conetrations are shown above. the students then removed the potato cubes from the solutions twenty-four hours later and massed them again. they calculated the percent change for the potatoes in the various solutions. all of the data is displayed above. what is the approximate molar concentration of the red potatoes used in this experiment?

the answer is

c. parental

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
