Turgidity will decrease in salt water because water in the carrot will flow out in order to try to equalize the high concentration of salt.

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.

What two parts controls the shape and turgidity of plant cells?

The cell wall, which provides structural support and shape to the cell, and the central vacuole, which stores water and helps maintain turgidity through osmotic pressure, are the two key parts that control the shape and turgidity of plant cells.


If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air would the water potential of the potato cells increase or decrease and why?

The water potential of the potato cells would decrease because as water leaves the cells through osmosis to the drier environment, it causes the concentration of solutes inside the cells to increase, lowering the water potential.


How can you quickly convert fat cells into muscle cells?

Unfortunately, there is no way to convert fat cells into muscle cells. You need to decrease the size of fat cells and to increase the size (and perhaps quantity) of muscle cells.

What are carrot cells?

The cells in the middle of a carrot (vascular bundle) consist of xylem & phloem. Xylem are responsible for water transportation and phloem transports nutrients. These tissues are primarily made of sclerenchyma cells as well as parenchyma cells.
