To store strawberries in sugar syrup, Lucy placed them in a jar and covered them with sugar but did not add any water. Do you think syrup will be formed? Justify. No. Since water is not added, there cannot be any syrup formation. No. The higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the sugar to diffuse in the strawberry cells causing them to swell without formation of any syrup. Yes. The higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the strawberry to diffuse out resulting in syrup formation. Yes. The sugar will mel

The answer is Yes. The higher concentration of sugar on the outside will cause the water from the strawberry to diffuse out resulting in syrup formation.

Water is necessary for syrup formation, but if it is enough water in the fruit, the syrup will form. There is the higher concentration of sugar on the outside of the strawberries and more water on the inside. Through the osmosis water will diffuse out from the strawberries. The aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the fruits. Water will exit the fruit and with added sugar, it will form the syrup.
