Question

If vegetables such as brinjal and lady's fingers become somewhat dry and shrivelled , they are put in water. they start looking fresh again , because water enters inside them. in the absence of any opening , how does water enter the vegetables ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process by which water moves from high concentration area to low concentration area. (In case of solute it is from low con to high con)

Now the dried vegetable contains less amount of water. So when It is kept in water, the water enters the cell.

thereby the vegetables become fresh again!

P.S the water enters the cell through the semi-permeable membrane of it.
