I have a question and I'm not sure what subject it would be under?

 

I placed several red potatoes in a bag and vacuum sealed it. 2 weeks later, the bag had puffed up and looked about to explode. Inside, there was quite a bit of liquid and it looked like some of the potatoes had exploded.

 

My questions are: What happened? What was the science going on here? How did liquid get inside a vacuum sealed bag? Was it the potatoes? Why did the liquid come out? HOW did the liquid come out? Why did the potatoes explode??

Hi Lizard - It looks like this might be a homework question, so the appropriate first step would be for you to tell members of the forum what YOU think the answers might be, and then we can have a dialog to correct any potential misunderstandings.
