Saltwater can help or harm the stem of a plant. It can help because plants need sodium as a nutrient for healthy growth. However, it can harm or kill them if they get too much salt.
As salt water will kill it quickly in almost all situations, and a regular tap water would keep it living at it's normal rate, I'd say salt would have the greater effect...albeit a negative effect.
Salt water can have a negative impact on plant growth by disrupting the osmotic balance within the plant, leading to dehydration and nutrient imbalances. The high levels of salt can also accumulate in the soil, affecting its structure and nutrient availability for the plants. Ultimately, excessive salt water can hinder plant growth and survival.
The balsam plant has a soft stem because it contains large amounts of water-filled cells that provide structural support. These cells give the stem its flexibility, making it soft and easily bendable.
Excessive salt can inhibit plant growth by disrupting water balance and nutrient uptake in plants. It can also cause leaf burn and root damage, ultimately leading to stunted growth or plant death. It's important to maintain soil salinity at appropriate levels for healthy plant growth.
In this scenario, the solute would be the salt, as it is the substance being dissolved in the water. The solvent is the water, which is doing the dissolving of the salt particles.
The stem would be limp.
the stem
homeostasis does have salt effect, when you sweat you lose water and salt
it affects plants by the root or stem
Salt water can cure a scratchy throat
This effect is due to the refraction of light from the stem when it passes from the water into air.
I diubt that the salt in the water would have any effect however the chlorine in the water might if the balance of the water is not correct.
Salt water cause corrosion on most metal pipes.
it lowers the freezing point of the water
it can effect our drinking because of the salt that is in the water
Salt increases the boiling point of water and lowers its freezing point.
There is no effect.
