When the water is lost, so is the rigidity.

What function diffuses water molecules?
Osmosis
Does cold or hot water absorb faster with celery?

Why does oxygen content decrease in water left stagnant over several days?
As the water is poured into the glass, some oxygen dissolves in it. If the water doesn't move, the oxygen slowly diffuses out of it. If you were to pour in the water in a vacuum and then removed the vacuum and left the water stagnant, there would be no oxygen content decrease.
Why does celery stalks cells go limp when water diffuses out?

What happens when you put celery in freshwater.?
By osmosis, water molecules in the vacuoles of the celery move into the salt water. Loss of pressure in the vacuoles causes the cells to collapse and the stalk to wilt.Concentrated water in the celery cells passes out to the saltwater where water is less concentrated.
What part of the stem do you think celery strings are?
The stringy cells are the xylem of the plant (tubes that the plant brings water through)
Placing limp celery in water will make the celery stalk firm again due to?
osmosis
When you do a capillary action experiment with a stalk of celery with leaves and a stalk of celery without leaves which one pulls up water faster?
The stalk of celery with leaves pulls up water faster, as water evaporates from the leaves, creating an area of low pressure, and the water moves up from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
Why does a celery stalk curve when soaked in water?
coz it's hidin
When placed in tap water why does celery get stiff?

It is a myth that any food can "burn" calories. In fact, all foods and drinks (except for water) have caloris in them. A celery stalk has about 6 calories in it.
How do leaves on a celery stalk effect the water movement?
it has a larger surface area the celery stalks with out leaves & surface area is an enzyme that speeds up the transpiration in the Xylem tubes
