Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
The cells of the celery stalk are hypertonic to fresh water, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, making them stiff. When placed in a salt solution, the cells become hypotonic, causing water to move out of the cells, resulting in a limp texture.
When placed in a concentrated salt solution, the carrot will lose water through the process of osmosis. This will cause the carrot to shrink and become limp as the water moves from an area of higher concentration (inside the carrot) to an area of lower concentration (the solution).
A limp plant typically has vacuoles that are depleted of water and turgor pressure, causing the plant cells to lose their rigidity and become flaccid.
Boiling a rheo leaf in water will extract chlorophyll and other soluble pigments, giving the water a green color. When you then place the boiled leaf in a concentrated sugar solution, osmosis will occur, where water moves from the leaf's cells into the sugar solution, potentially causing the leaf to become limp or shriveled. Additionally, the high sugar concentration may inhibit further cellular processes in the leaf. This experiment demonstrates the effects of osmosis and the interaction between plant cells and hypertonic solutions.

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.
Your snake plant may be going limp due to overwatering, lack of sunlight, or root rot. Check the soil moisture, ensure proper drainage, and place the plant in a well-lit area to help revive it.
they will turn brown and start to limp.
Your snake plant's leaves may be becoming limp due to overwatering, lack of sunlight, or root rot. Check the soil moisture, ensure proper drainage, and place the plant in a well-lit area to help revive the leaves.
because of the saltyness of the salt
When a potato is placed in a concentrated sugar solution, water will move out of the potato cells via osmosis, resulting in the potato shrinking and becoming soft and limp. This is because the sugar solution has a higher solute concentration than the potato cells, causing water to move from an area of higher water concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower water concentration (the sugar solution).
