They dont 'react'. the plant sucks up the food colouring (like water). this happens all of the time to plants, except you cant see it usually. Anyway, the plant sucks up the colouring, and treats it as water :)
No.
photosynthesis
cacti
they use this thin called xylem
Chlorophyll
Food colouring is a mixture .and you separate it using chromatography
Unless the food coloring has some active ingredient, it will not affect the salt water chemically. In the environment, adding excessive food coloring to water may reduce the amount of light available to plants living in the water. Otherwise the coloring itself is innocuous.
yes it does! It uses something called capilarry action
no there is not DNA in food coloring
Its called chlorophyll which is in the plant's chloroplasts.
You take food coloring and add it to the plants water it will change the color
As plants grow they draw water and nutrients up from the soil. Cut flowers still draw water up from the vase and if there is food coloring in the water it goes up with the water.
