In the second one, water is moving in by osmosis, and exerts a force on the sides of the stem creating a turgor causing it to achieve such a shape
In the experiment keep various variables constant apart from changing the conc. of the salt solution. Tabulate the conc. and length of the stem after each trial and tabulate it, as well keep on continuing the experiment until you obtain the outcome you want
