A sugar sink is an organ in a plant where sugars are concentrated. It depends on whether a plant is active or dormant as to where you are most likely to find a sink at any given time. During dormancy the roots are the sinks and during growth the leaves, stems, and other growing parts are the sinks. In actuality, since during the growth period the sap is always flowing in both directions, the entire plant should be considered a sink. Only one organ is always classed as a sink; that is the fruit. Nutrients flow into the fruit, not out.
What else can I help you with?
Sugar sink in water?
Yes sugar will sink in water and eventually dissolve.
Does sugar sink or float?
well, sugar is more dense than water. Therefore, sugar will sink to the bottom until it's dissolved into a substance. (:
Why doesn't the sugar in coke sink?
it dissolves
Do sugar float or sink?
Sugar sinks in water because it is denser than water. Sugar crystals are heavier than water molecules, causing them to sink to the bottom rather than float on the surface.
What does sugar have in it that makes sodas sink?
Sodas sink due to their density, which is influenced by their sugar content. When sugar is dissolved in water, it increases the liquid's density compared to pure water. As a result, sodas, which contain high levels of sugar or high fructose corn syrup, are denser than pure water, causing them to sink when placed in it.
Does sugar free gum take longer to sink in water than regular gum?
Yes. Sugar is denser (than water) and therefore will sink to the bottom, whereas gum without sugar doesn't have the "Extra Density."
Why do calamansi seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?
Calamansi seeds have a lower density than sugar water, causing them to float. In ordinary water, the density of the seeds is greater than that of the water, causing them to sink.
How can a root or tuber serve as both a sugar source and a sugar sink?
A root or a tuber can serve as both a sugar source and a sugar sink during the production. What this means is that when a plant is growing into an adult plant, the root or tuber is used as a sort of fuel source, helping the plant with extra nutrients to ensure growth.
The sugar sink in roots is created by the?
not even doc smith knows that one
What term describes an area where sugars are used or stored?
Sink
Why does sugar water make objects sink?
For an object to float it must be less dense than the water/liquid that it's in. Adding sugar to water lowers its density because glucose molecules (sugar molecules) are less dense than water molecules. Therefore, putting an object into sugar water will make it sink.
Will milk jugs sink or float in sugar water?
Sugar water is denser than plain water. A saturated solution -- it will not absorb one more gram of sugar -- is about 1.83 grams per milliter. Whole milk's density is 1.034 grams per milliliter. Thus a full jug of milk (assuming a thin plastic jug, not a heavy glass container, and no air in the jug) would float on sugar water. How far it would sink depends on the concentration of the sugar solution.
