Sugar is transported from the water to a celery leaf through a process called transpiration and the plant's vascular system. Water, which contains dissolved sugars produced during photosynthesis in the leaves, moves up through the xylem vessels. As water evaporates from the leaf surface, it creates a negative pressure that pulls more water (and nutrients) upward. This movement helps deliver sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant where they are needed for growth and energy.
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.
Celery may taste bitter after soaking in a sugar solution because the sugar draws out water from the celery, which can concentrate bitter compounds present in the vegetable. Additionally, some people are more sensitive to bitter flavors, so the change in taste perception could be more noticeable.
Celery is a special part of leaf structure called petiole
Celery is a vegetable. It is just the swollen petiole (part of the leaf) of the plant.
Boiling a rheo leaf in water will extract chlorophyll and other soluble pigments, giving the water a green color. When you then place the boiled leaf in a concentrated sugar solution, osmosis will occur, where water moves from the leaf's cells into the sugar solution, potentially causing the leaf to become limp or shriveled. Additionally, the high sugar concentration may inhibit further cellular processes in the leaf. This experiment demonstrates the effects of osmosis and the interaction between plant cells and hypertonic solutions.
No, celery has leaves but the celery is not a leaf. if the leaves are up and the root is down whats leftover
no
Celery or a green onion
Probably not. I am not sure, but surely, I don't see roots plucking out when I pull a cellery stalk.
the celery take in the water
Sugar is 100% carbohydrate.
No, raw celery has a low glycemic index (GI). It contains minimal carbohydrates, which means it has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. This makes celery a suitable snack for those managing their blood sugar or following a low-GI diet. Additionally, its high water and fiber content contribute to its health benefits.
