it absorbs vinegar more quickly and much more efficiently.
most plants absorb more water through their leafs
Celery will absorb water faster in warm water because the molecules of warm water are more energetic and can penetrate the celery cells more quickly. This allows for quicker absorption of water by the 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.
If you place a stock of celery into a glass of water it will absorb some of the water and become stiff again because celery is mostly water and when it gets older the water starts to leave the stock and it wilts
After 30 minutes in cold water with food coloring, celery will start to absorb the colored water through its vascular system. The food coloring will travel up the celery stalk, gradually dyeing it in the process. It creates a simple and visually appealing science experiment to demonstrate how plants absorb water.
A plant will grow better with water because water provides essential nutrients for plant growth and aids in photosynthesis. Vinegar is acidic and can harm plants by altering the pH balance of the soil, making it difficult for plants to absorb nutrients.
It depends on how much food coloring you are trying to absorb, and how big the celery is. If you have a small stick of celery and a lot of food coloring, it will most likely take about a week or so for the celery to completely absorb the food coloring. When the color of the water and the color of the celery switch places, it is fully absorbed. I will be doing this experiment myself to see how long in days, minutes, and seconds it takes, but if you have any more questions, try it!
== == because the water makes the celery's cells go flaccid (stiff or erect) and that is why celery goes hard after being in water.
no
Vinegar is acidic and plants do not like over acidity. It inhibits the plants ability to absorb water and nutrients.
Because of something called capillary action. Capillary action is the tendency of water to move upward in a capillary or thin tube, it's the same reason as to why when placed in a solution of water and red dye, the celery will turn red as well. The action causes the celery to absorb the salt water into it thouroghly and thus, it wilts.
