When a carrot is placed in water, it absorbs water through a process called osmosis. The carrot cells take in water, causing them to swell and expand, which makes the carrot appear larger. This is because the water moves from an area of high concentration (the water outside the carrot) to an area of low concentration (inside the carrot).

What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells placed in salt water will lose water due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become wilted. The high concentration of salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water leaving the carrot cells to try to balance the salt concentration.
Will an animal cell shrink if placed in pure water?
No, an animal cell will not shrink if placed in pure water. Instead, it will tend to swell and may eventually burst due to the process of osmosis, where water moves into the cell to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
What happens to a gummy worm in tap water?
When a gummy worm is placed in tap water, it will absorb some of the water and become softer and slightly larger in size. The sugar in the gummy worm may also start to dissolve into the water, giving it a sugary taste.
When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
What should happen when a egg has its shell carefully removed and is then placed in salt water?
When an egg with its shell removed is placed in salt water, the water will move from the egg into the salt water due to osmosis. This will cause the egg to shrivel and shrink in size as water leaves its membrane to balance out the concentration of salt inside and outside the egg.
What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells placed in salt water will lose water due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become wilted. The high concentration of salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water leaving the carrot cells to try to balance the salt concentration.
How much does 1 carrot yield when grated?
Obviously, the weight depends on the size and water content of a carrot.
What is the volume of a carrot?
It depends on the size of the carrot. Their size varies.
Explain why a carrot feels spongy after being soaked in salt water?
Water moves out of the carrot's cells and into the salt water due the difference in concentration of NaCl. This might account for the spongy-ness of the carrot
Why does a block of wood increase in size when placed in water?
because the wood absorbs the water and its size increases the water enters the wood through small pores
Why is it that balloon placed in hot water increase in size?
When a balloon is placed in hot water, the air particles inside the balloon gain energy and move more rapidly, causing them to exert more pressure on the walls of the balloon. This increase in pressure leads to the balloon expanding in size as it tries to accommodate the higher pressure from the heated air molecules.
A cucumber slice placed in pure water increases in size?
yes and if you cut yourself in water you willl also grow in size
When can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis without using a scale?
You can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis if they swell or shrink. When plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and shrink. Conversely, when they are placed in a hypotonic solution, they gain water and swell. These changes in cell size indicate that osmosis is occurring.
How many calories in medium size carrot?
30
What does one carrot weight?
The weight of a single carrot depends on the carrot's size, which is too variable to give a weight. Carrots are sold loose, washed and in bags, or in tins.
What is the width and height of a carrot?
Not all carrots are the same size!
Will the size of an unboiled strip of potato increase when placed in distilled water for 2 hours?
Yes, because the distilled water has higher water potential as compared the the strip potato, so water will enter the potato by osmosis, through a partially permeable membrane, causing it to increase in size (:
