Why do raisins absorb water when soaked in water? Explain the phenomenon.
When Raisins are soaked into water, then water moves from semi-permeable membrane (which acts as hypotonic solution) of raisins to raisins (hypertonic solution) of raisin cell sap. The movement of water molecules from hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution is known as Endosmosis.
