Question

What will happen to the grapes if they are kept in honey?

• A. They will shrink.
• B. They will burst.
• C. They will remain the same.
• D. They will swell up.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

They will shrink.

When a cell is kept in a solution which is more concentrated, water comes out of the cell. As a result, the cell shrinks.
Honey, having more sugar in it, is more concentrated compared to the cytoplasm of grape cells. Hence, the grape shrinks because water passes out of it into the honey.
