osmosis takes place
The onion peel will shrink and dehydrate due to osmosis. The strong sugar solution will draw the water out of the onion cells, causing them to lose water and shrink in size.
In brief: Plants produce glucose through photosynthesis. Sugar is a form of glucose. Adding sugar water to a plant does, in the short term offer small benefits as the plant is able to absorb small amount of glucose instead of using photosynthesis to produce it. Long term use of sugar water on plants will result in the death of the plant! To much sugar in the soil solution prevents or hampers osmosis, resulting in ineffective water and nutrient uptake by the plant. This results in discolouration, stunting, wilting and eventually death. Damage to the root system can be compounded as sugar offers a very good medium for fungal and bacterial colonies to develop in the soil, which my further damage a weakened root system.
If dried apricots are kept in a sugar solution, they will absorb the moisture from the solution, becoming plump and rehydrated. The sugar solution will also enhance the sweetness of the apricots and act as a preservative, prolonging their shelf life. However, it's important to consume them in moderation due to the added sugar content.
You can but there is no actual need to do so. Raisins are dried grapes that are sugar coated. They can be kept at room temperature in a cupboard or in a refrigerator.
The result will be a sugar syrup with a concentration determined by how much the sugar dissolves in the boiling water. As the solution cools, the solubility of sugar decreases, which may result in sugar crystals forming unless the solution is kept hot or additional water is added.
When red blood cells are kept in a 10% glucose solution, water will flow out of the cells due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become crenated. This is because the solution is hypertonic compared to the inside of the red blood cells.
If a raisin is kept in a salt solution, water will move out of the raisin due to osmosis. This will cause the raisin to shrink and dehydrate as water flows from an area of higher concentration (inside the raisin) to an area of lower concentration (the salt solution).
If an alcohol-treated cell is kept in a hypertonic solution, it will likely shrink due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to move out of the cell and into the solution, leading to cell dehydration and shrinkage.
No, but white wine can be made from red grapes if the extracted juice is not kept in contact with the red skins.
Your finger does not shrink. Your skin soaks up water and gets larger. It makes it look like your fingers shrink but its just your skin that is larger.
Cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.Isotonic means there is an equal concentration of solute both inside and outside of the cell.A hypertonic solution means that there is more solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will move out of the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to shrink. That is BAD.A hypotonic solution means that there is less solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will more into the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to swell and possibly burst or 'lyse'. That is also bad.That's why cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.
