Question 1

Question
How do plants drink water?
Answer
  • Plants absorb water that rains from the sky through a process called absorption.
  • Plants drink water and it travels up the stem through a process called capillary action.
  • Water travels through the stem by a magnetic pull.

Question 2

Question
Why did the flower in the experiment change color?
Answer
  • Because the flower absorbed the dye in the water.
  • Because some of the dye accidentally dropped on the leaves
  • All flowers change colors after some time.

Question 3

Question
Bigger plants absorb water through a process called photosynthesis, in order to make sure that the water travels to the higher parts.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is present in all green plants and its responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
How does capillary action occur?
Answer
  • There is a chemical action between the stem molecules and the water molecules that allow for them to create and exchange energy.
  • Water accumulates in the stem and so the water level gets higher within the stem.
  • Water molecules stick together and to the walls of the tube as they are climbing up the stem. They will continue to climb until gravity is too much.
