How does osmosis explain the fact that a watery syrup forms when you put sugar on straberries?

When sugar is added to the strawberries it causes the water from the strawberries to move out of the strawberries across a semi-permeable cell membrane. The water that moved out of the strawberries produced the watery syrup that coated the strawberries. Sugar increases the rate of osmosis.

Osmosis is the net movement of water to a location because of solute differences. When sugar is placed on strawberries, we are creating two locations with different concentrations of dissolved solute. The sugar represents a very concentrated solution, and the strawberries represent a more dilute solution. Water will leave the strawberry solution and enter the sugar solution in order to balance out the two solutions.
A good way to think about this is by imagining two cities on an island. One city has lots of homes, but not many people. The other city has lots of people, but not many homes. People will move back and forth between the two cities, but there will be more people moving to the city with more homes. Eventually, when the homes and cities are balanced, the people moving from each city to the other city will also be the same.

How does osmosis explain the fact that a watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis-The diffusion of water through a membrane. Answer-the sugar gets in to the strawberry and makes it melt so the watery syrup forms.
How does osmosis explain the fact that watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane from the side of higher concentration to lower concentration. When sugar is placed on strawberries, the water diffuses across the cell membranes out of the strawberries and mixes with the sugar to form a syrupy substance.
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of what?
passive transport in and out of cells
Are forms of cell regulation?
Enzyme activity, osmosis, and diffusion
What are forms of cell regulation?
Enzyme activity, osmosis, and diffusion
What are forms of cellular regulation?
enzyme function, diffusion, osmosis, homeostasis
Rheum is a watery discharge that forms a crust Where would you find it?

What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?
Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.
What are the comparative and superlative forms of the word water?
"Ice" is a verb and a noun and, as such, does not have a comparative or superlative form. The adjective icy would be icier and iciest respectively.

Does osmosis need sugar?
Yes. Osmosis needs water to finish the final product and to make both sides even. However, they use water as well and bacteria forms to produce a toxic waste. It is impossible to see osmosis but if you use a microscope you can.
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of?
Both are types of passive transport because they require no energy (ATP) to move molecules.
