Hypertonic environment

<h3>How do salts and sugars preserve food?</h3>

Salts and sugars work to preserve foods by creating a hypertonic environment. Salt and sugar will remove the water from the bacteria or fungi and they will not be able to proliferate. Loss of water results in plasmolysis, or cytoplasmic shrinkage.

<h3>What is hypertonic solution and plasmolysis?</h3>

Compared to another solution, a hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration.

Plant cells subjected to hyperosmotic stress frequently exhibit plasmolysis as a reaction. The live protoplast violently separates from the cell wall as a result of the loss of turgor. The vacuole is primarily responsible for the plasmolytic process.

Answer:

Cell membranes serve as barriers and gatekeepers. ... Small polar molecules, such as water and ethanol, can also pass through membranes, but they do so more slowly. On the other hand, cell membranes restrict diffusion of highly charged molecules, such as ions, and large molecules, such as sugars and amino acids.

Levart [38]
By controlling what enters and leaves a cell, the cell membrane A) aids in maintaining homeostasis within the cell. Homeostasis is the process by which organisms maintain life through eating, growing, and living in variable conditions. It would not make sense to answer B) because organisms do not control the homeostasis of their external environment. D) also would not be correct because cell's do not control osmosis in the external environment. The membrane does not control osmosis because osmosis is generally a random process of molecular diffusion whereas the membrane acts in a conscious and controlled way.
