Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements is TRUE about the role of water in plant life?

  • Cacti are able to survive long periods without water because they can store it in their stems. (correct)
  • Plants require the same amount of water, regardless of their species.
  • Plants that wilt due to lack of water cannot recover, even if they are watered again.
  • Water is only essential for seed germination, not for the overall growth of plants.
  • What is the primary reason why plants need soil?

  • Soil provides a physical support for plants.
  • Soil helps regulate the temperature around plant roots.
  • Soil acts as a natural filter for rainwater.
  • Soil provides essential nutrients for plant growth. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Soil

    • Plants need soil to grow.
    • Different plants require different nutrients.
    • Fertilizers can be added to the soil to provide nutrients.
    • Inadequate nutrients can cause plants to weaken and die.

    Water

    • Plants require water to grow.
    • Different plants have varying water requirements, some needing a lot and others very little.
    • Cacti can store water and survive for long periods without rain.
    • Cacti have spines to deter animals from feeding on them.
    • Seeds need water to germinate.
    • Lack of water can prevent seed germination and affect plant health.
    • Plants can wilt due to insufficient water, but can recover if watered.
    • Prolonged dehydration leads to plant death.

    Temperature

    • Plants need the right temperature to thrive.
    • Some plants can grow in extremely cold or hot environments.
    • Seeds require specific temperatures for germination, often germinating in spring when temperatures warm.
    • Plants create their own food using photosynthesis, which requires a suitable temperature.
