Neither plants nor animals can?

Neither plants nor animals can survive without water. Water is essential for all living organisms to carry out basic functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Without water, both plants and animals would quickly perish.


How do indoor plants grow without water and sunlight?

Indoor plants cannot grow without water and sunlight. Water is necessary for photosynthesis – the process plants use to convert light into energy. Sunlight is also crucial for stimulating growth and providing the energy needed for overall plant health.


What are plants without specialized conducting tissues?

Plants without specialized conducting tissues rely on diffusion for transport of water and nutrients within the plant. These plants are typically small in size and lack true roots, stems, and leaves. Examples include mosses and liverworts.


Do plants gain mass when they don't have water?

Plants may lose mass when they don't have water due to dehydration and shrinking of cells. Water is essential for maintaining turgor pressure, which keeps plant cells rigid and upright. Without water, plants may wilt and appear to lose mass.


Will plants die if you don't give water?

Yes and for two reasons id the plant is vascular. One reason is that turgor pressure is not maintained without water and the plant can not hold itself erect then. The second and more important reason is that the plant needs to split water molecules to get replacement electrons when the chlorophyll pigment is excited by photon strike and it's electrons enter photosystem II. Without the replacement of those lost electrons there would be no photosynthesis and the plant would die in short order.
