Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.

Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard If left in a salt solution they become limp and soft From thsi you can deduce that thecells of the celery stalk?

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.


To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?

Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.


Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?

Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.


What is mean by celery salt?

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.


is water hypotonic?

yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.


What causes hypertonic and hypotonic?

The concentration of water in and out of a cell.


How does salt water suger water and plain water absorb celery?

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.


Is ocean water hypotonic or hypertonic?

Hypertonic. The concentration of dissolved salts is higher in ocean water than in human cells.


When celery sits in the refrigerator for days it may wilt To restore it to its former crispy condition it could be submerbed in?

Pure water because the concentration gradient would cause water to move from a hypertonic region to a hypotonic region.


What are the 3 types of water concentrations seen in osmosis?

Hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.


Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?

Water moves into a membrane-bound hypotonic vesicle through the process of osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the vesicle is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the vesicle to balance the concentration gradient.


Is water hypertonic or hypotonic in biological systems?

In biological systems, water is typically hypotonic, meaning it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of cells.
