Cause it's a sponge.
In the study of how much water is absorbed by dried beans, the independent variable is the amount of time the beans are soaked in water, as this can be controlled and varied by the researcher. The dependent variable is the amount of water absorbed by the beans, which is measured to determine the effect of the soaking time. Other factors, such as temperature and type of bean, should be kept constant to ensure accurate results.
It's by a process known as 'osmosis' Basically, the outer covering of the bean is water permeable, and the 'seed' inside the bean is porous. Water is absorbed through the outer membrane, which swells the 'pulp' of the seed, causing it to swell.
The mighty bean.
Water is absorbed in the large intestine.
Water cannot be absorbed into a cup.
water
Water will make the bean sprout. Both salt water and baby oil will hinder or halt the bean sprouting.
yes a bean will grow faster in sugary water
Nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine. water in absorbed into the large intestine.
The size of a sponge does affect the amount of water absorbed. The bigger the sponge the more water absorbed.
The higher the salt concentration the more water that is drawn from the bean. The lower the salt concentration the more the bean will expand.
Depends on the size of the pinto bean.
