A type of respiration pertaining to cells?
Respiration is when oxygen combines with sugar to break down the sugar.
How does osmosis explain the fact that watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane from the side of higher concentration to lower concentration. When sugar is placed on strawberries, the water diffuses across the cell membranes out of the strawberries and mixes with the sugar to form a syrupy substance.
What happens when benedict's solution is added to egg white and heated?
It causes the reaction to speed up showing more simple sugar in a solution, faster than just letting it sit.
What is the biology term of isotonic?
If you're asking about what the term isotonic means...there are three basic types of solutions- Hypertonic, Hypotonic and Isotonic Hypertonic Solutions are solutions that contain more solute than the other solution in question. Hypotonic solutions are less concentrated with solute than the other solution (When i refer to the "other solution" usually when you talk about isotonic solutions etc, you are talking about it in reference to another solution) Isotonic solutions are solutions that contain an EQUAL amount of solute with the other solution and the solute diffuses equally from one solution to the other... SOrry if anything is innaccurate, but a proper definition (other than mine) shouldn't be hard to get once you understand this...
How much sugar do you put in hummingbird feeder?
Most experts recommend 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. Ratios from 1:3 to 1:5 are all similar to the sugar concentrations found in the nectar of hummingbird-pollinated flowers, but solutions stronger than 1:3 may not provide enough water, especially in hot, dry wearther, and those weaker than 1:5 may not attract the birds.Use only white granulated sugar, not honey, powdered sugar or artificial sweeteners.Food coloring is unnecessary and possibly harmful.Sugar water spoils quickly, so be sure to change the feeder solution every 2 to 4 days even if there is some left.Cleaning the feeder thoroughly at least once a week will help prevent spoilage and diseases transmission.Boiling the solution isn't necessary but may help delay spoilage.Always refrigerate any leftover solution.
If a plant cell is put into a concentrated sugar solution what will happen?
Those animal cells placed in pure water will swell but plant cells are restricted by their cells walls. If place in a solution high in sugar (or even salt), both cells will shrink in a process called crenation (shriveling).
When sugar is placed into water what does the sugar and water form?
A solution.
What will happen when raisins are placed in concentrated solution of sugar?
when raisins are placed in concentrated solution of sugarthen they will swell up
What happens to an animal cell when placed in concentrated sugar solution?
the concentration inside and outside the cells are unequal, to make the balance correct water is lost from the cell. If the sugar concentration outside the cell is much higher than that inside the cell then the cell may "implode". If the concentration outside the cell is less than that inside the cell then the cell gains water and may burst or "explode".
What happens when you put potatoes in a strong solution of sugar?
you will die
What is the pH value of sugar?
Which sugar? How strong a solution? In the main, just slightly acid, I would imagine.
Does heat cause molecules of sugar to leave sugar cube more rapidly when placed in a solution?
yes but dont eat it
Some plant cells were placed in a concentrated sugar solution. Their cytoplasm and cell membranes shrank and pulled away from the cell walls. What is the term for this condition?
You are seeing what is called dehydration due to the loss of water in the cells. Adding salt instead of sugar will due the same thing. And salt will actually cause a total loss of water from the cells.

Why is too much sugar dangerous for cells?
Too much sugar acts as a solution, which has high osmotic pressure. The cell functions are adversely affected by such solution.
Will water pass back and forth when cells are placed in a strong sugar solution?
Yes, since the membrane is permeable to water. However, since there's a higher concentration of sugar (solute) outside the cell, the overall outcome would be more water molecules outside the cell than inside, and it would tend to stay that way until solute concentrations are reversed or equalled.
What will happen if you keep red blood cells in concentrated sugar solution?
it willshrink
