If you have a small stick of celery and a lot of food coloring, it will most likely take about a week or so for the celery to completely absorb the food coloring. When the color of the water and the color of the celery switch places, it is fully absorbed. I will be doing this experiment myself to see how long in days, minutes, and seconds it takes, but if you have any more questions, try it!
After 30 minutes in cold water with food coloring, celery will start to absorb the colored water through its vascular system. The food coloring will travel up the celery stalk, gradually dyeing it in the process. It creates a simple and visually appealing science experiment to demonstrate how plants absorb water.
The xylem tubes, tubes that suck up water and minerals in a plant, in the celery plant suck up the food coloring which to the tubes, is water. The tubes then just spread the water/food coloring to other parts of the celery.
most plants absorb more water through their leafs
Salt water and sugar water are hypertonic solutions, meaning they have a higher concentration of solute than inside the celery cells. This causes water to move out of the celery cells, leading to wilting. Plain water is a hypotonic solution, so water moves into the celery cells by osmosis, making the celery more firm and crisp.
Celery will absorb water faster in warm water because the molecules of warm water are more energetic and can penetrate the celery cells more quickly. This allows for quicker absorption of water by the celery.
The flower will change faster because of the way water is transported through the stem. The celery will take longer as it will absorb through soaking, not through pulling it up through the stem.
the affects they have are that since the leaves have the green coloring, the blue water mixes with the green for the celery to be produed.

The food color is absorbed by the celery from its roots, whatever color you put in the water affects the color of the celery.
Sugar dissolves better in water than in oil because sugar is hydrophilic, meaning it has an affinity for water. Food coloring is typically water-based, so it will not dissolve in oil but rather float on top of it. Oil is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water-based substances like sugar and food coloring.
energy drinks are loaded with sugar Gatorade if you look at the ingredients is sugar water and water coloring
