When fruits and vegetables that have dried are placed in water, they slowly swell and return to the original form. Explain why? Would a temperature increase accelerate are process? Explain. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :The cell WALLS of the fruits and vegetables have semi-permeable membrane. When they have dried, concentration inside is higher. On placing in water,water enters into the cells, i.e., osmosis takes place. Hence, they swell and return to the original form. The process will be accelerated with INCREASES of TEMPERATURE because osmosis becomes faster with increase of temperature. | |
