Answer 1

Answer:

Heyyy !! Here is your answer.

Go through it.

On adding salt into the vegetables, the external medium is made hypertonic, which means that the concentration of water is lowered as compared to the concentration of water inside the cell. Thus, water is released from the vegetables due to exosmosis (water molecules goes out of the cell resulting in shrinkage of cell).
