Why will celery not swell and burst when put in a salty solution?

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".

simple diffusion. When you surround a cell with water the water diffuses through the cell membrane causing it to swell and burst. The opposite is hyper tonic.
What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
Why do human cells die in freshwater?
As, human cell is an animal cell. When it is placed in an hypotonic solution like freshwater,it will finally swell and burst
What is the difference between animal and plant cell in the distilled solution?
In a distilled solution an animal cell will swell and possibly burst. In a distilled solution the cell wall of the plant cell allows the plant cell to retain its shape.

Which is called Plasmoptysis.
What solution causes a cell to swell?
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper

Why don't people swell up and burst when people swim in water that is hypnotic solution to people's cells and body fluids?
Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to our body fluids. When we swim in a hypotonic solution, water enters our cells via osmosis to equalize the concentration, but our cells have mechanisms to regulate the influx of water, preventing them from swelling up and bursting.
