Solution

(a) When dry apricots are left in pure water, the water will enter into the apricots, which will result in swelling of the apricots. These apricots will gradually lose water and shrink when they are transferred to a sugar solution.

(b) A red blood cell kept in concentrated salt solution will lose water due to exosmosis and will shrink in size.
