2. In this lab, my group and I tested two potatoes, one in salt water and one in regular water. The one in the salt water lost weigh and became weak because the salt water dehydrated the potato. The one in the regular water gained weight and became stronger because the water went into the potato. We also tested a sausage in iodine. The weight of the sausage did not change but it turned black.

3.The potato that was in regular water shows osmosis and the potato that was in salt water shows diffusion. Also the sausage that was in the iodine shows osmosis.
