Question

If you are provided with some vegetables to cook. You generally add salt
into the vegetables during cooking process. After adding salt, vegetables
release water. What mechanism is responsible for this?

Answer 1

While doing cooking, generally we add salt to vegetables ( contains water).
Adding salt, makes the concentration of salt higher in outside membrane of vegetables than in inside. ( more salt, less water)

As a result, due the process of OSMOSIS, water from vegetables comes outside making it softer and helps in faster cooking.

Answer 2

Answer:Osmosis/Diffusion of water

Explanation:

Usually when we cook we add certain amount of salt(which does not contain much water ) to the vegetables(which has high amount of water)

What is osmosis?

Answer:

The prices in which water molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration is called OSMOSIS.

So due to the process of osmosis they release water to make it a equalized or isotonic solution.
