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.

What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will tend to lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.
Will an animal cell shrink if placed in pure water?
No, an animal cell will not shrink if placed in pure water. Instead, it will tend to swell and may eventually burst due to the process of osmosis, where water moves into the cell to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
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 happens if a cell is placed in a pure water?
In this case the solution is hypotonic in relation to the cell. The cell swells up and ruptures as the water rushes in, and since the animal cell has no cell wall it cannot become turgid (stop letting in water), therefore the cell will rupture.
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
Why a raisin placed in a cup of pure water overnight will puff up with water.?
Because it's a dehydrated GRAPE, maybe?
Pure water will conduct a charge when placed in a Hoffman Apparatus?
Extremely pure water (Kolrausch water) has a very poor electrical conductivity.
What cells that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water tend to?
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will tend to lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.
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 can happen if a cell placed in pure water 100 percent?
If a cell is placed in pure water, the water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This process is known as cytolysis and can result in cell death.
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 does sodiom react to?
pure sodium reacts to just about everything... it even explodes when placed in water
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.
A cucumber slice placed in pure water increases in size?
yes and if you cut yourself in water you willl also grow in size
Will an animal cell shrink if placed in pure water?
No, an animal cell will not shrink if placed in pure water. Instead, it will tend to swell and may eventually burst due to the process of osmosis, where water moves into the cell to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
