A raisin is a dried up grape, if it is placed in water it will absorb water and regain some of its original shape and size.
The process involved is called osmosis. It happens when areas of high concentration (the sugar solution inside the raisins) is separated from an area of low concentration (the water outside the grape). Physical forces try to balance the concentrations so the water passes through the grape skin (technically a semipermeable membrane) into the grape and plumps it up.

∙ 13y agoBecause a raisin is a dried fruit - a grape. Almost all the moisture has been evaporated out of it. So, when it is placed in a position to absorb moisture, it will.

What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
Why animal cells burst when they are placed in pure water?
Animal cell are hypertonic to the water i.e. they have more solute concentration inside the cell when placed in pure water. Now by the law solvent(water here) move from low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute so water move inside the animal cell which make cell to swell up and when the swelling pressure increase then wall pressure the cell get burst
What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?
A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell. I hope this helped :D
Will an animal cell shrink if placed in pure water?
No, the animal cell will actually grow in size through diffusion of water into the inside of the cell because of it's lower concentration of water.
Why a raisin placed in a cup of pure water overnight will puff up with water.?
Because it's a dehydrated GRAPE, maybe?
What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to ___
Pure water will conduct a charge when placed in a Hoffman Apparatus?
Extremely pure water (Kolrausch water) has a very poor electrical conductivity.
What happens if a potato slice is placed in pure water?
When a potato slice/piece is placed in pure water, it gains mass and appears to be blown up. This is because the water is travelling into the potato because it has a lower concentration of water inside it.
What is a solution pure water an oatmeal raisin cookie copper vinegar?
PURE water is not a solution. Since it is a pure substance (H2O), it lacks the requirement of another part.An oatmeal raisin cookie is not a solution since it is not a homogeneous mixture. It is a heterogeneous mixture.Copper is another example of a pure substance (Cu), although it is used in many alloys, which ARE solutions.Vinegar is the only one that is a solution. Vinegar is a homogeneous mixture, and can contain a wide variety of acids, the primary being Acetic acid.
What can happen if a cell placed in pure water 100 percent?
swell up and lyse
What does sodiom react to?
pure sodium reacts to just about everything... it even explodes when placed in water
What happen in an egg when it placed in a salt solution?
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.
When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
What would happen if a normal cell were placed in a beaker of pure water?
it would absorb more and more water until it will explode
What would happen if a cell containing many solutes was placed in a pure water?
We wouled all die
Why do dry fruits puff up in pure water overnight?
Its simple because what you're doing when you dry a fruit is taking out the water leaving the concentrated juices and pulp. When you put the water back in it is simply reverting to its original form.
