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.
well what will happen is the wilted celery will diffuse and thats pretty much all that will happen oh and it will shrivel up
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.
It will swell. In the given conditions, the hypotense solution will allow a great influx of the distilled water.
As you know that iodine act as indicator for testing of starch so when a drop of iodine is added to starch it turns bluish black but when added to distilled water nothing happens except the colour of water which turns brown and its is the colour of iodine.
Osmosis, which is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to and area of lower concentration. Hope this helps.
You know that all plants need water and celery is a plant that is why it grows bigger in water.
It takes in water by osmosis. This is why a wilted plant or even a wilted stalk of celery will become firm again if given water.

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".
the celery take in the water
it turns in to a patato
it grows
It is turgid, meaning the cells are full of water so they are firm. This then supports the plant as a whole. The celery stick will then be nice and crisp.
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.
It might come back to life, but it depends on the kind of plant.
