Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard If left in a salt solution they become limp and soft From thsi you can deduce that thecells of the celery stalk?

hypotonic means dilute, hypertonic means concentrated. If celery becomes turgid in the fresh water then it is hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to sodium solution.

A celery stalk is placed in a solution it begins to wilt what is a likely component of that solution?
Most likely the solution is water and salt. The salt in the water causes the celery to pull water out of itself to try and even out the salt to water concentration. This causes the celery to wilt.
Why will celery not swell and burst when put in a salty solution?
The salt outside the celery is higher than it is inside. Water will leave the celery and it will (over time) become wilted. If you put the celery into plain water, the water will move into the celery causing it to become firmer. The water will always move to where there is more salt. There is a saying that "water follows salt".
Why does a plant like celery get limp when placed in hypertonic solution?
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
Is celery organic or inorganic?
An organic molecule, which celery has many of, contains carbon hydrogen bonds, so celery is organic in that sense.
Is celery a gymnosperm?
No, it is an angiosperm
Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard Similar stalks left in a salt solution become limp and soft From this you can deduce that the cells of the celer?
hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution
What is mean by celery salt?
Saltwater (a hypertonic solution) with the celery cells (a hypotonic solution) causes a concentration gradient where the water from the celery will escape into the hypertonic solution, shrinking the celery in a process known as plasmolysis.

hypotonic
What happened to the celery in dye solution?
The veins of the celery turn the color of the dye. It's very cool when you slice it open.
Does celery stay fresher in hypotonic water or hypertonic water?
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.

What happens if you put wilted celery in distilled water?
Distilled water is a hypotonic solution. Due to diffusion, water wants to go into the cell to reach equilibrium. Whereas, a salt water solution (hypertonic) would make the water leave the cell. So, if you put "wilted celery in distilled water" then water would diffuse into the piece of celery; making it become harder.
Do people eat stems?
