I used to crave celery and ate up to 3 heads of it a day for about 6 years. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with severe iron deficiency anaemia and have been taking iron tablets and find I no longer want to eat celery! I have just read somewhere that pica (cravings) is often for crunchy food, and that people who are iron deficient sometimes have these cravings.

Which process explains what happens to a limp celery when it is put in pure water?

When limp celery is placed in pure water, it undergoes a process called osmosis. Water moves from an area of higher concentration (the pure water) to an area of lower concentration (the cells of the celery, which have a higher solute concentration). This movement of water into the celery cells causes them to swell, restoring the celery's crispness and firmness. As a result, the celery becomes turgid as the cells fill with water.


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.
