In brief state what happens when (a) dry apricots are left for sometime in pure water and later transferred to sugar solution? (b) a Red Blood Cell is kept in concentrated saline solution? (c) the Plasma-membrane of a cell breaks down? (d) rheo leaves are boiled in water first and then a drop of sugar syrup is put on it? (e) golgi apparatus is removed from the cell?

Answer
- When we put dried raisins or apricots in plain water and leave them for some time cell gains water and swells. If we put same seeds into a concentrated solution of sugar or You will seeds it loses water, and consequently shrinks.
- When red blood cell is kept in concentrated saline Cell loses water immediately and shrinks.
- When the plasma membrane of a cell breaks down cell
- On boiling, cells of Rheo leaves are died and if we put sugar solution on it there will not be any intake of water due to lack of osmosis. Here cell undergo plasmolysis concluding only living cells undergo
- This stop the formation of vesicles and transport of proteins and lipids is stopped by the removal of Golgi
