Importance of Water for Plants
Water is essential for plants for several reasons, and it plays a crucial role in their survival and growth.
1. Photosynthesis
- Water is vital for the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy.
- During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce glucose and oxygen.
2. Nutrient Transport
- Water helps in transporting nutrients and minerals from the soil into the plant.
- It acts as a solvent, allowing essential nutrients to dissolve and be absorbed through the roots.
3. Turgor Pressure
- Water helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells, which keeps them rigid and upright.
- This pressure is crucial for maintaining the plant’s structure and preventing wilting.
4. Temperature Regulation
- Water plays a role in regulating the temperature of plants.
- Through the process of transpiration, plants release water vapor which cools them down.
5. Cellular Functions
- Water is involved in various cellular processes within the plant.
- It is necessary for biochemical reactions and helps in the overall functioning of the plant cells.
In conclusion, while the idea of plants "breathing" may sound unusual, they indeed require water to absorb carbon dioxide and carry out vital processes that sustain their life. Thus, option 'B' is the correct answer, emphasizing the importance of water for plant health and growth.
