Red celery leaves

——Science papers

The world of science is wonderful. Everything in life is almost related to scientific information. Let us go into the unpredictable world of science and travel together!

In life, people who often go to the market know that the leaves of celery are green. So, is there a "red" celery? Some people will say that this is absolutely impossible. But today, I will use science as my staff to create a "red" celery and create a wonder of the world.

I went to the vegetable market first and bought some fresh celery. After taking it to the house for washing, I cut off the root of one of the celery. Then I poured another half a cup of water, added a little red ink to it, and stirred it. Then I inserted the celery into the cup and waited for the miracle to appear.

Time passed by. I am in a hurry, as if it is an ant on a hot pot. Finally, my efforts were not in vain. After about four and a half hours, I went to see the celery, and the leaves magically turned red! I was ecstatic and immediately told this message to my father.

Although I am very happy that my experiment has been successful, I am really puzzling about the truth. why? It seems that I have to ask my father who is full of economics. "Dad, why does the leaves of celery turn red?" Dad laughed and didn't answer: "Let's cut the celery and see it!" I will be suspicious, I don't know what medicine is sold in my father's gourd. I carefully cut the celery into several segments, and the scene inside could not help me to stay: the "blood" flowing in the "blood vessels" in the stems was red! The thin pipe that transports water in the plant is called a capillary. This colored water is sucked into the leaves when the colored water soaks the capillaries inside the celery stem. This phenomenon turned out to be a capillary phenomenon! Oh! The mystery of celery leaves turning red is here! The answer is revealed!

There are many other magical stories in the scientific world. As long as you carefully observe and explore with your heart, you will discover the mysteries!
