A pupil accidentally “watered” a potted plant with a concentrated salt solution. After sometime the plant began to wilt.
Which of the following activities would revive the plant?
- Covering the plant with dark paper to prevent further water loss from its surfaces
- Leaving the plant to adapt to the condition
- Exposing the plant to higher concentration of oxygen
-
Adding more water to the soil
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
If a plant is dehydrated, it can wilt and become unable to perform vital functions such as photosynthesis. To revive the plant, it is important to add more water to the soil as it will replenish the water supply for the plant, allowing it to recover and continue performing its functions.
