Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When sprinkled with sugar, the fruit will release its own juice by the process of osmosis. Sugar is a solute that attracts water molecules, causing them to move from an area of higher concentration (inside the fruit) to an area of lower concentration (outside the fruit), resulting in the release of juice. Therefore, the statement is true.
