What process wilts a plant as a result?
There are many possible reasons. Here are a few: 1. not enough sunlight, or too much sunlight (relative to each plant) 2. root rot: this happens when the plant is getting too much water. the roots of the plant are sitting in stagnant water and begin to rot, which kills the plant. make sure to give the plant enough water, but don't soak the soil. 3. nutrient deficient soil: some soils simply lack the nutrients the plant needs. you can add compost, seaweed liquid fertilizer (which is totally organic), or even urine ( i know it sounds gross but it contains alot of nitrogen)
What is a wilted plant?
A plan wilts because of a shortage of water or because there is no water in the central vacuole over a period of time when the plant really needs water.Answer.While agreeing with the first answer a plant can also wilt if given too much water.
When vacuoles in plants are filled with water the plant has what?
It is filled with water because the environment the cell is in is watery. It also helps the cell keep its' form.
Does the fertilizer that wilt the plant kill it?
Fertilizer that wilts a plant can kill it. Plants can die off if too much fertilizer are used or if they are watered too much. To ensure proper care of a plant, be sure to provide proper sunlight, water daily and a sufficient doze of fertilizer.
What is the appearance of a plant cell when water is plentiful?
When water is plentiful, the cell expands so that the plant stands upright. Without water, the cell shrinks, so the plant wilts.When water is plentiful, the cell expands so that the plant stands upright. Without water, the cell shrinks, so the plant wilts.
When water becomes limited what generally happens to the rate of photosynthesis?
it stops and the plant wilts due to osmosis
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
What happens if excess soil is applied to a plant?
Damp soil around the stem or collar of a plant can cause it to rot, when this starts the conductive tissues in the stem are damaged and the plant wilts as water cannot be drawn up from the roots - in most cases the plant will then die
Why will wilting of a flower occur?
A plant usually wilts because it needs water.
What occurs when a plant loses water faster then it can replace it?
The plant is likely to close its stomata, the little breathing mouths (or holes) in the outer skin or epidermis of the leaf, to slow down the rate of transpiration. It is not always good to do this, because it also slows down the rate at which the plant can collect carbon dioxide to feed on. However, if the plant cannot get enough water to replace whatever water it loses through transpiration, then sooner or later it wilts. If it wilts too badly its leaves die and stop transpiring. If too much of that happens, the plant is likely to wilt and die too.
When does plant wilting occur?
Plant wilting occurs after excessive loss of water by transpiration and lesser absorption by the roots. The deficiency of water in the cells make them flaccid and the plant wilts.
Relate transpiration to the function of a stomata?
The stomata are pores on the bottom side of leaves that allow transpiration. When the plant does not recieve enogh moisture they close and the plant wilts.

What has the author H Wilts written?

How does competition with other plants effect plant growth?
When other plants need the same nutrients and water that the other plant needs they compete for the nutrients and won't get as much as they should do. When a plant doesn't get the required amount of water, it wilts

Why a tulip plant wilts if it is not watered?
There is more water in the plant than there is in the soil so the plant will attempt to even out the ballence by putting some of the water that is contained inside it into the soil which will inturn cause the plant to wilt because of returning so much water to the soil
