Why does water on mars need to be salty?

Salty water has a lower freezing point than pure water. So, very salty water may have a chance of being liquid on Mars. However there seems to be no liquid water on Mars.


Why sugary and salty foods usually resist bacterial spoilage even without refrigeration?

Bacteria grows in mainly wet or moist food so it is harder for bacteria to grow in dried or salted food. Also, many bacteria and yeasts dislike salt, even in wet foods (like pickles) because they have trouble maintaining their inner water/solids ratio when the amount of dissolved solids in the surrounding water is very high. Sugar, in large enough amounts, does the same thing. That is why canned fruit always comes in a sugar syrup.

Why when a vegetable is placed in very salty water it becomes soft and collapses?

When a vegetable is placed in very salty water, osmosis occurs, causing water to move out of the vegetable's cells into the saltier solution. This loss of water leads to cell dehydration, which makes the vegetable soft and causes it to collapse. The salt concentration outside the cells creates an imbalance that disrupts the vegetable's internal structure, resulting in a wilted appearance.


Why does a vegetable collapse when it is placed in very salty water?

When a vegetable is placed in very salty water, it experiences a process called osmosis. The high concentration of salt outside the vegetable causes water to move out of the vegetable cells to balance the salt concentration, leading to dehydration. This loss of water results in the collapse or wilting of the vegetable, as the cells lose their turgor pressure and ability to maintain structural integrity.

Is very salty water more or less dense than less salt water?

Very salty water is more dense than water with less salt because the dissolved salt molecules increase the mass of the water. This higher density causes the salty water to sink below less salty water.

What will happen to the water inside bacteria when they are in an extremely salty environment?

In an extremely salty environment, water will move out of the bacteria through osmosis to try to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. This loss of water can cause the bacteria to shrink and become dehydrated, potentially compromising their ability to survive and function properly.
