Question

Explain what happens when a drop of concentrated sugar solution is placed on a leaf peel of the rheo mounted on a glass slide. Name this phenomenon. Would the same happen if the rheo leaf is boiled before mounting? Give reason for your answer.

In your case exosmosis takes place. If the leaf is boiled before adding the drop of solution exosmosis doesn't take place as the cells are dead then.
