Answer 1

Answer:

HEYA!!! THIS IS SAYLI & HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.......

Explanation:

A)When dry apricots are left for sometime in pure water, they will swell. Because, water will enter into them through the process of osmosis. Later,when these apricots will be transferred to sugar solution, they will again shrink. This also occurs due to osmosis.

B)Salt draws out moisture and thus will tend to wilt the vegetable. It also mitigates bitterness and acidity (sugar will also cut down on acidity) and amplifies the taste of natural sugars in the vegetables thereby enhancing their flavor (works for fruit as well).
