Observe the celery in different color solutions

Question

Explain what happens for the leaves if celery to become the same color as the water

Answer 1

When celery is placed in different colored solutions, the color of the water will be absorbed into the celery stalks through a process called osmosis. The color of the celery will change as it absorbs the colored water.

If the celery becomes the same color as the water it is placed in, it indicates that the celery has fully absorbed the colored water and that the concentration of the colored solution inside the celery matches the concentration of the colored solution outside the celery. This means that the process of osmosis has reached equilibrium, and the celery has taken in as much of the colored water as it can.
