Question

Yesterday i was going to make a salad. when i took the lettuce out of the fridge it was completely wilted! being a thrifty person, i did not toss the lettuce in the garbage i decided to revive it! i placed the lettuce in a bowl of pure cool water and put it back in the fridge. what is the most likely result of my unplanned experiment? was salad back on the menu?

Answer 1

The correct answer is that salad may be back on the menu, yet not immediately, water will move by the method known as osmosis, towards its so called "concentration gradient" , wherein it will find its way into the lettuce's leaves, which will take time before it could revive the wilted lettuce back to its normal and crisp texture.
