Question

In the supermarket, produce is often sprayed with water. Using correct terminology, explain why this makes vegetables look crisp. Can someone please answer this for me?​

Answer 1

Answer:

actually the water is hypotonic to the plant cells, so the plant cell take up the water and look crisp

Answer 2

Osmosis is the process by which the water diffuses through the plant cells and makes the vegetables look crisp.

Explanation:

• In a plant cell, the turgor pressure forces the cytoplasm against the nonliving cell wall.
• This pressure dries out the cells and makes the vegetables look wilted.
• When produce is sprayed with water, the concentration of water outside the produce will be greater than the water inside the produce.
• Meanwhile, water diffuse inside the cells through a process called osmosis, which aids in making the produce crisp and less wilted.
