hypotonic means dilute, hypertonic means concentrated. If celery becomes turgid in the fresh water then it is hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to sodium solution.

What is mean by celery salt?

Saltwater (a hypertonic solution) with the celery cells (a hypotonic solution) causes a concentration gradient where the water from the celery will escape into the hypertonic solution, shrinking the celery in a process known as plasmolysis.


A celery stalk is placed in a solution it begins to wilt what is a likely component of that solution?

A likely component of the solution that causes the celery stalk to wilt is a high salt concentration. Salt draws water out of the cells of the celery through the process of osmosis, leading to the wilting of the stalk.

Why do celery taste bitter after soaking it in sugar solution?

Celery may taste bitter after soaking in a sugar solution because the sugar draws out water from the celery, which can concentrate bitter compounds present in the vegetable. Additionally, some people are more sensitive to bitter flavors, so the change in taste perception could be more noticeable.


Why will celery not swell and burst when put in a salty solution?

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".

What happens if you put wilted celery in distilled water?

The wilted celery may absorb some water and become slightly more hydrated, but it may not fully revive it. The lack of nutrients in distilled water may limit the celery's ability to fully recover. It is best to use a solution with nutrients, such as a mix of water and plant fertilizer, to help wilted celery recover.


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.
