Answer:

-

Step-by-step explanation:

Since potatoes already contain sugar, less water will diffuse out of the potato placed in sugar water. The slice placed in water will be rigid, since it will absorb water.

Because potatoes already contain sugar, less water will evaporate when they are submerged in sugar water. Because it will absorb water, the slice placed in water will become hard.
