What happens when fresh grapes are kept in concentrated sugar solution?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

When fresh grapes are kept in concentrated sugar solution, a process called osmosis occurs, where water from the grapes moves to the sugar solution to equalize the concentration. This can cause the grapes to become plump and slightly dehydrated as water is drawn out. The sugar solution also acts as a preservative, helping to prevent spoilage of the grapes.

Answer 3

the grape would shrivel up. This is because the water in the grape would leave it to try to balance out the sugar concentration.

Answer 4

It would shrivel up like a kitty cat. Meow.

Answer 5

Grape would shrivel if placed in more concentrated solution .

Answer 6

They will shrivel.
