What else can I help you with?
Can plants grow in salt water?
Some seeds (mangrove and coconut) can. But in most cases the presence of salt causes moisture in a plant to come out of the plant (by osmosis) and this means that the seed/plant can not grow in a salty environment unless it has special adaptations for dealing with salt.
Could salt water stop plant growth?
Yes, salt water can inhibit plant growth by drawing water out of the plant cells through osmosis, causing dehydration and damage. Excessive salt levels can disrupt the plant's ability to take up nutrients and can lead to stunted growth or even death.
When you water a plant with salt water what does it have on the plant?
Salt water effects plants by making them dry out and wither. You might ask why; and the reason is because it takes the moisture out of the cells. It does this when the salt all sticks to the plant and absorbs the liquid out of it. That makes the cell dry out and causes the cell to die. Salt is bad for plants because it could do this to every single cell causing the whole plant to die.
What melts the solvent or solute?
Dissolving is not the same thing as melting. When you dissolve salt in water, for example, neither the salt nor the water melts. In the example of salt in water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. The salt (which is the solute) is what dissolves (but does not melt).
Does a plant grow taller if watered with milk or salt water?
No. If you give a plant salt water the salt will cause the cells in the plant to shrivel, trying to keep it out, and the plant will eventually die. I have no idea about milk. My best guess is no as well because the solution is too thick for the plant to soak up.
The example of roses and salt water in the lesson was an example of?
The roses and salt water experiment is an example of gradient diffusion. When salt water, as opposed to fresh water, is employed the salt extracts water from the cells , not replenishing the matrix, and the plant loses turgidity.
What plant will grow taller if one plant had sugar water and tea and one plant has salt water and coffee?
salt water and coffee
Does mixing salt into a cut flowers water affect how long it live?
Yes. It actually shortens the plant life. The water in the plant will diffuse into the salt water. This means that the water that the plant cells use is drained down into the salt water because the salt can not pass through the plant which leaves the plant to die faster
Is salt water is an example of a compound?
No. Salt water is an example of a solution, in which salt is the solute and water is the solvent. Solutions are mixtures, not compounds.
What is the effect when you pour salt on a plant?
If the plant is not a salt water plant, then plasmolysis will occur when you pour salt on a plant.When you pour salt on a plant water molecules inside the cell are drawn out. When the water molecules leave the cell, the cell becomes dehydrates and shrinks. This is called plasmolysis.
Is salt water a example of suspension?
No. Salt water is a solution.
Is salt a plant?
Yes, and salt water is also alive.
Can plants grow in salt water?
Some seeds (mangrove and coconut) can. But in most cases the presence of salt causes moisture in a plant to come out of the plant (by osmosis) and this means that the seed/plant can not grow in a salty environment unless it has special adaptations for dealing with salt.
What plant does salt water effect?
piepoop plant its real
What is the independent the effect of salt water on plant growth?
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.
Could a farmer near the sea coast salt water to water crops?
no cause salt dries up the water in the plant which makes the plant die
Could salt water stop plant growth?
Yes, salt water can inhibit plant growth by drawing water out of the plant cells through osmosis, causing dehydration and damage. Excessive salt levels can disrupt the plant's ability to take up nutrients and can lead to stunted growth or even death.
