A cell placed in syrup will shrink due to water loss. Since a syrup is hypertonic to a cell the water inside will diffuse out toward the higher solute concentration.

Would a cell placed in syrup lose or gain water?

A cell placed in syrup would lose water through the process of osmosis. This is because the syrup has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move from the cell to the syrup in an attempt to equalize the solute concentrations.

Does osmosis occur when dried apple slices are placed in distilled water and corn syrup?

Yes, osmosis will occur when dried apple slices are placed in distilled water and corn syrup. The dried apple slices will absorb water in the distilled water through osmosis as water moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration. In the corn syrup, the opposite will happen as water will move out of the apple slices into the higher concentration solution.

What would happen to to Saturn if it were placed water?

Theoretically, the planet Saturn would float when placed in water because it has an average density that is less than the density of water. On the other hand, there is probably not enough water in the solar system to permit the experiment to be performed. If you choose not to consider the planet as a whole, the atmosphere would float on the water but the rocky core would sink like a stone.

What happens if you soak an egg in maple syrup?

When an egg is placed in Kary syrup the egg releases the water inside of it to achieve diffusion. There is a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the Karo syrup. When you touch the egg after it was left in the Karo syrup overnight you will find that it collapses under your touch because it has lost some of its volume (the water). The egg will also shrink in size.
