you can soak it in a high concentration of salt water which causes it to lose its turgor pressure ,therefore it shrinks in size by diffusional water from inside the potato moves to the salt solution)

What is the force that causes turgor pressure?
The force that causes turgor pressure is osmosis.
What is a sentence for the term turgor pressure?
When the turgor pressure is low in a plant it will start to slouch and wilt.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
Turgor pressure occurs in what kind of solution?
Turgor pressure is usually calculated as the difference between water potential and osmotic potential. In herbaceous plants turgor pressure is almost solely responsible for maintaining an erect habit. Wilting of leaves is due to loss of turgor in the leaf.
The internal pressure of a plant cell is called what?
turgor pressure, also turgidity, is the main pressure exerted by cell contents against the cell walls in plant cells
Wilting is counteracted by?
Turgor Pressure
How does water affect the appearance of a vegetable?
The amount of water in the cells of a vegetable affect the turgor pressure in the cells. The turgor pressure is how much pressure is in the cells. If the cells of the vegetable do not have enough water, the turgor pressure is low, so the plant wilts, making the vegetable look shriveled or small. If the cells of the vegetable have the right amount of water, the turgor pressure is high enough to keep the plant from wilting, so the vegetable looks healthy. If the cells of the vegetable have too much water, the turgor pressure is very high, and the cells may burst open, making the vegetable look shriveled and small.
What is the force that causes turgor pressure?
The force that causes turgor pressure is osmosis.
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
The pressure that is exerted on the inside of cell walls and that is caused by the movement of water into the cell?
Osmotic pressure across the cell wall, here called Turgor Pressure.
What is a sentence for the term turgor pressure?
When the turgor pressure is low in a plant it will start to slouch and wilt.
