Celery will not turn into water, but it does contain a high water content—about 95%. When celery is cut or decomposes, it may release water due to its moisture content, but it will not convert into water. Instead, the structure of the celery breaks down, which may create the appearance of liquid.
The stem has xylem in it. the xylem carries water to leaves, so the leaves turn pinkish.
the celery take in the water
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.
it contains about 1/2 oz Second answer: How much celery is "a celery"? The question cannot can be answered without that information. The first answer isn't specific about how much celery it takes to get "about half an ounce" of water.
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.
You know that all plants need water and celery is a plant that is why it grows bigger in water.
The salt outside the celery is higher than it is inside. Water will leave the celery and it will (over time) become wilted. If you put the celery into plain water, the water will move into the celery causing it to become firmer. The water will always move to where there is more salt. There is a saying that "water follows salt".
The celery has veins because the veins help the celery transport nutrians throughout the plant. Have you ever done the experiment when you put a celery in colored water? The celery's veins transport the color throughout the celery. It does this because the celery's veins transport the nutrians, so it does it with the water also.
== == because the water makes the celery's cells go flaccid (stiff or erect) and that is why celery goes hard after being in 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.
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.
Celery stays fresher in hypotonic water because it creates a lower concentration of solutes inside the celery cells compared to the surrounding water, allowing for water to flow into the cells through osmosis and keep the celery crisp. In hypertonic water, the higher concentration of solutes outside the celery cells would cause water to move out of the cells, leading to wilting.
