Because water passes out of the raisins [region of higher concentration] into the salt solution [region of lower concentration] through the semipermeable membrane.

How do raisins change when soaked in water?

When raisins are soaked in water, they absorb the water and swell up, becoming plumper and softer. This process is called rehydration.


Do raisins kept in distilled water swell up?

Yes, the raisins will swell due to osmosis, where the solvent goes from a low solute concentration to a higher solute concentration, which in this case, is from the distilled water to inside the raisin.


Do wet raisins show endosmosis?

It is an example of hypotonic solution and the raisins will swell up.


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.


Why would a raisin swell when put in hypotonic solution?

The raisin swells in a hypotonic solution because there is a higher concentration of water outside the raisin than inside. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water into the raisin, causing it to swell as it absorbs water and increases in size.


What will happen after some time when some dried raisins are placed in hypotonic solution?

There will be no change in the shape of the raisins since the concentration of solvent{most likely water} is equal in the interior and exterior parts of the cell. So no osmosis takes place since the solvent is already in the equilibrium.


How will a raisin sink?

Raisins sink in water because they are denser. However, the carbon dioxide molecules found in soda float to the top because they want to escape from the liquid. These CO2 molecules (seen as bubles) attatch to the raisins pulling them up to the surface as well. When the CO2 bubles reach the surface, they pop and the raisins begin to sink again.


Will raisins rise up and down if placed in soda?

Yes . Hope my answer helps!


Why do dried pulses kept in water swell up after sometime?

Because they absorb the water they're in - which makes them swell up.


Potato cells placed in distilled water will?

swell up due to osmosis, as water will move from an area of higher concentration (outside the cells) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cells), causing them to expand. This can eventually lead to the cells bursting.
