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?

(a) The apricots swell due to osmosis initially and when transferred to sugar solution shrink again due to exosmosis.

(b) RBCs shrink due to exosmosis.

(c) It would lead to scattering of cell organelles and there will be no functioning of the organs.

(d) There will be no change in cell shape or size because the cells are dead due to boiling.

(e) Function of Golgi apparatus is packing, storing and transfer of protein. It would affect the functioning of cell.
