Question

Select True or False: Using your knowledge of osmosis or osmotic pressure decide if the following statement is true or false: When sprinkled with sugar, a dish of sliced fruit will form its own juice

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis refers to the movement of water particles from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.

When sprinkled with sugar, a dish of sliced fruit will form its own juice. This is because the sprinkled sugar has a higher concentration which explains why water moves out from the fruit with a lower concentration to dilute the sugar which has a higher concentration.
