The reason plants wither is to protect it from water loss. When the plant is given an ample amount of water, the stem is able to stand back up.

How much water do you water a plant with?

It's best to water a plant with enough water to moisten the soil thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain out. The amount will vary depending on factors like the plant type, size of the pot, and environmental conditions. Water until the soil is moist but not waterlogged.


What do plant give off during photosynthesis?

Plants give off oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This process involves the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of sugar that serves as the plant's energy source, with oxygen released into the atmosphere.


What is the relationship between plant cell structure and the ability of plants to stand upright?

cell wall and turgor pressure


If a plant is placed in salt water what will most likely happen to the cells of the plant?

If you give plants that are adapted to living on land water that is very salty, it will reverse the osmotic potential in their roots and actually cause water to be removed from the cells of the plant and make them shrivel up, thus leading the plant to experience drought stress even if the soil is moist. A similar process is what causes cucumbers to turn into pickles when they are soaked in brine and vinegar.There are however, plants that are adapted to salty soil and saltwater. These plants have much more effective water intake systems that can overcome this reversal in osmotic potential provided that the salt concentration in the water isn't too high. Seaweed, for example, has a very high salt tolerance. Plants such as Alkali Sacaton and Russian Thistle have a somewhat lower salt tolerance than seaweed, but a higher one than your typical ornamental plant that you may have at home.


Why does the balsam plant have a soft stem?

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.

Why are vacuoles important for our cell?

to give the plant water


Why arent animal cells capable of tugor pressure?

In a plant cell, the large central vacuole takes in the water and gives the turgor pressure in plant which allows it to stand up. The animal cells do not have this large central vacuole, and it is unable to maintain all the water and give the turgor pressure.


DO plants grow better in water or Dr.Pepper?
