This is due to the plant losing moisture, mostly water, as it is that which keeps leaves rigid the picked plant becomes limp. This happens to a certain extent with all plants - it is very noticeable in ones with thin leaves (as evaporation of moisture is quicker).
the cells in the celery lose water through evaporation, causing the celery to become dehydrated and limp. Celery has a high water content, so when it is exposed to air in the refrigerator, it can lose moisture quickly, leading to wilting.
A limp plant typically has vacuoles that are depleted of water and turgor pressure, causing the plant cells to lose their rigidity and become flaccid.
The cells of the celery stalk are hypertonic to fresh water, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, making them stiff. When placed in a salt solution, the cells become hypotonic, causing water to move out of the cells, resulting in a limp texture.

Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
yes. the water in the cell evaporates through the cell wall, removing the structure that keeps the cell in a rigid, fixed shape.
A pickled lettuce becomes limp when left in the sun due to the heat causing the water inside the lettuce to evaporate. The pickling process involves brining, which helps retain some moisture, but exposure to sunlight accelerates dehydration. Additionally, the heat can break down the cell walls of the lettuce, further contributing to its limp texture. This combination of moisture loss and cellular breakdown leads to the wilting of the pickled lettuce.
You could, but lettuce is limp and soggy when thawed.
Ragdoll cats almost always go limp and become relaxed when they are picked up. Some scientists believe that this is a genetic mutation while others think these cats are just so relaxed, friendly and trusting that they are simply at ease when picked up.
She had polio when she was a child and it left her with a limp.
Lettuce wilts in an apple due to the release of ethylene gas by the apple as it ripens. Ethylene is a natural plant hormone that promotes ripening and can lead to the breakdown of cell structures in lettuce, causing it to lose moisture and become limp. Additionally, the closed environment of storage can trap moisture and create conditions that enhance this wilting effect.
It would be safe to eat, but you probably wouldn't enjoy it. The lettuce would become mushy as it thaws.
it is to do with the water potential

put in water with some ice for a few minutes, and you can also do this with lettuce!
This would depend on what is in the salad, if you are going to prepare it and then refrigerate it, and if you leave the dressing off until you serve it. If the salad has cucumbers, tomatoes, or other vegetables that contain a lot of natural moisture, it can cause your lettuce to become limp. If you make the salad(s) then refrigerate, it will remain crisp and brightly colored. If you combine your dressing with the salad too far in advance, it will cause the lettuce to become limp, as well. Ideally, if all of these guidelines are followed, you can make it about a day ahead of time. Also, if you are cutting your own lettuce up, and aren't eating the salad immediately, you should TEAR the leaves, and NOT use a knife. The reaction with the knife and lettuce is what causes the brown edges on the leaves.
