If vegetables were chopped into a bowl of water would the vegetable slices gain or lose water?

It would depend on the type of vegetable and the initial water content of the vegetable. If the vegetable has little water in it, it would absorb water. If the vegetable has a high water content, it would lose water. It goes back to osmosis and trying to balance the concentration of solutes in the vegetable.
