question/statment
those yummy chicken wings you eat are often served with celery. In order to keep the celery nice and crispy, it would be best to place it in which solution (as compared to the celery). a hypertonic solution, hyotonic solution or an isotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution would produce the most turgor pressure.

My guess would be to use a hypotonic solution. A hypertonic solution would remove the water from the celery, making it soft and 'bendy.' While an isotonic solution would do nothing (no exchange of molecules). The hypotonic solution is the only one that would force molecules into the celery, because of diffusion (molecules travel from high concentrations (the hypotonic solution) to low concentrations (the celery). However, if the celery is nice and crisp to begin with, the isotonic solution won't change it --whereas I don't know if a hypotonic solution can make the celery "waterlogged".
I hope that helps. :-)
