When dehydrated fruits and vegetables are placed in water they slowly swell and return to original form why ? What is the effects of temperature on the process ?

When dehydrated fruits and vegetables are placed in water, they slowly swell and return to original form. Why? Would a temperature increase accelerate the process? Explain.

STATEMENT - 1 : When dried fruits and vegetables are placed in water, they slowly get swollen. STATEMENT - 2 : It happens due to the phenomenon of osmosis.

The electrical resistance in ohms of any specimen of material varies with temperature according to the approximate law. R - R_0 [1 + 5 xx 10^-3 (T - T_0)] The resistance is 101.6 Omega at triple point of water and 165.5 at normal meting point of head (600.5K). What is the temperature when the resistance is 123.4 Omega ?

Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water ?

Why is ice at 273 K more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature ?
