Question

Can anybody help me with this?

Answer 1

Answer:

presence of sugar means that the outside of the fruits is less dilute (more concentrated in sugar than water) than the inside of the fruits

in osmosis (diffusion of water molecules), water molecules have a net movement from a more dilute substance to a less dilute substance

sugar is the less dilute substance, so water is drawn out of the fruits and mixes with the sugar around them

the sugar dissolves in water, creating a sugar solution

this results in fruits with less water inside them, and surrounded by sugar solution

Hope this helps :)))
