Why do plants need water to make them grow?

Answer 1

1. Plants need water to absorb disolved nutrients from the soil (water forms the basis of the soil solution).

2. To help transport the nutrients around the actual plant (water forms the basis of cell sap).

3. They need it also for photosynthesis (6CO2 + 6 H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2)

Answer 2

Plants need water just as any living organism. For the plant to perform it metabolic process, photosynthesis, it needs water(H2O) to combine with carbon dioxide(CO2) and light to make sucrose. Sucrose is the result of photosynthesis and the plants waste product is oxygen.

Answer 3

Plants need water for photosynthesis, which is the process they use to convert sunlight into energy. Water is also essential for transporting nutrients and minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant. Additionally, water helps maintain the plant's structure and supports cell elongation for growth.

Answer 4

Just like humans, they need water to survive. But also to photosynthesize at day, use it for respiration at night.

Answer 5

Plants need sunlight and water to undergo a process called photosynthesis. This process turns light into glucose, or sugar, to feed the plant.

Answer 6

Plants need water to help carry nutrients to other parts of the plant. Water is essential in photosynthesis.

Answer 7

They need water to survive
