Adhesion and Cohesion
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.
the celery take in the water
Yes because when you are eating celery, the skin off of it is burning calories while it is going down the throat. Naturally, celery's skin is very rough in which will cause this process, and generally water is good for you because it will clean all of the waste from your system.
it contains about 1/2 oz Second answer: How much celery is "a celery"? The question cannot can be answered without that information. The first answer isn't specific about how much celery it takes to get "about half an ounce" of water.
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.
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".
== == because the water makes the celery's cells go flaccid (stiff or erect) and that is why celery goes hard after being in water.
The celery has veins because the veins help the celery transport nutrians throughout the plant. Have you ever done the experiment when you put a celery in colored water? The celery's veins transport the color throughout the celery. It does this because the celery's veins transport the nutrians, so it does it with the water also.
You know that all plants need water and celery is a plant that is why it grows bigger in water.
Yes colored water can change the color of celery, because celery has xylem tubes witch transports the water throughout the entire plant, therefore changing the celery's color
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.
