What else can I help you with?
Explain why limp carrot sticks become crisp and your fingers becomes wrinkle when placed in hot water?
It is because of osmosis. Water enters the carrot cells whereas it travels in the opposite direction in your finger.
Why do people put carrot sticks in a glass of fresh water prior to a party?
To keep them fresh.
Would you have carrot flavored water if you put a carrot in water?
not really. to get carrot flavored water, you have to boil the water and then put pieces of carrots in.
Why does a carrot float in salt water but sink in fresh water?
A carrot will float in salt water because salt water is denser than the carrot. This creates buoyant force that allows the carrot to float. In fresh water, the carrot is denser than the water, causing it to sink.
Why does a carrot placed in water gain in size?
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).
When celery is soaked in water it becomes crisp again due to?
If it becomes crisp again, it is because it has absorbed more water.
Why does it happen when a carrot is soaked in saltwater?
When a carrot is soaked in saltwater, it undergoes osmosis, where water moves out of the carrot cells into the saltwater, which has a higher concentration of solutes. This causes the carrot to lose water, leading to wilting and a decrease in turgor pressure. The result is a firmer texture and a loss of crispness in the carrot. Conversely, if the carrot were soaked in fresh water, it would absorb water and become more turgid.
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

When you add salt water to a carrot where is there a greater concentration of water molecules?
there is more water but not in the carrot and it isn't all fresh water but there is more water than salt
When a carrot slice is placed in tap water for several hours why does it become very stiff?
When a carrot slice is placed in tap water, it absorbs the water through a process called osmosis. The water moves into the carrot cells, causing them to become turgid and swell, making the carrot slice stiff. This happens because the water pressure inside the cells increases, providing structural support to the carrot slice.
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.
