Answer 1

Answer:

Osmosis.

Osmosis occurs in the noodles because the water moves inside the noodles which make them swells. Osmosis is a process in which particles moves from the external environment into the cell through a semi permeable membrane. The water present goes inside the noodle and the noodles increases in size just like cells when the water moves inside the cell it swells due high concentration of water.
