The grapes contract, or become flaccid.
Explanation:
- This is because the concentrated sugar solution is hypertonic to the grape cells and hence sucks water from the cells via osmosis, causing the grape cells' cytoplasm to shrink.
- A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules and, as a result, has a high osmotic pressure.
- Hypertonic solutions aid in the preservation of food. Packing food in salt, for example, or pickling it in a hypertonic solution of sugar or salt, generates a hypertonic environment that either kills or inhibits the capacity of microorganisms to multiply.
