Plasmolysis
Celery is primarily composed of parenchyma cells, which are responsible for storing nutrients and providing structural support. These cells are rich in water and contribute to the crisp texture of celery. Additionally, celery contains vascular tissue, including xylem and phloem, which transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. The presence of collenchyma cells also provides elasticity and flexibility to the celery stalks.
Yes, you can regrow celery from scraps by placing the base of the celery in water and allowing it to grow new stalks.

hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution
In its stem..... celery is a stem!
The cells of the celery stalk are hypertonic to fresh water, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, making them stiff. When placed in a salt solution, the cells become hypotonic, causing water to move out of the cells, resulting in a limp texture.
the one without leafs
Celery stays fresher in hypotonic water because it creates a lower concentration of solutes inside the celery cells compared to the surrounding water, allowing for water to flow into the cells through osmosis and keep the celery crisp. In hypertonic water, the higher concentration of solutes outside the celery cells would cause water to move out of the cells, leading to wilting.
Salt water and sugar water are hypertonic solutions, meaning they have a higher concentration of solute than inside the celery cells. This causes water to move out of the celery cells, leading to wilting. Plain water is a hypotonic solution, so water moves into the celery cells by osmosis, making the celery more firm and crisp.
Water diffuses freely across the plasmalemma.
When limp celery is placed in pure water, it undergoes a process called osmosis. Water moves from an area of higher concentration (the pure water) to an area of lower concentration (the cells of the celery, which have a higher solute concentration). This movement of water into the celery cells causes them to swell, restoring the celery's crispness and firmness. As a result, the celery becomes turgid as the cells fill with water.
A stock of celery refers to a group of celery stalks that are bound together, typically forming a whole bunch. Celery is a crisp, green vegetable commonly used in salads, soups, and as a snack. It consists of long, fibrous stalks with leaves at the top and is known for its low calorie content and high water content. In culinary contexts, the term "stock" may sometimes be confused with "stalk," but it generally denotes the entire bundle of celery.
