Plant Growth and Water Absorption

The video explores how plants absorb water, focusing on the essential needs for plant survival, such as water, sunlight, and soil. It explains the process of water absorption through roots, likening it to using a straw. An experiment using celery and food coloring demonstrates this process, showing how water travels through plant tissues. The video concludes with observations from the experiment and encourages curiosity and further questioning.

What are the essential elements that plants need to survive?

• Water, sunlight, fresh air, soil, and space

• Water, sunlight, and food

• Sunlight, soil, and fertilizer

• Water, air, and fertilizer

What process do plants use to produce their food using sunlight?

• Photosynthesis

• Respiration

• Germination

• Transpiration

What happens to a plant if it doesn't get enough sunlight?

• It will become more colorful

• It will produce more flowers

• It will wilt and die

• It will grow faster

How do plants absorb water from the soil?

• Through their flowers

• Through their roots

• Through their leaves

• Through their stems

Why is it important to find the right amount of water for plants?

• Too much or too little water can prevent plant survival

• Too little water makes plants produce more flowers

• Water has no effect on plant health

• Too much water makes plants grow faster

In the celery experiment, what is used to observe the movement of water?

• Vinegar

• Food coloring

• Sugar

• Salt

What should you do while waiting for the celery experiment to show results?

• Draw a picture or write in your journal

• Add more food coloring

• Change the water

• Move the celery to a different cup

What visual change occurs in the celery during the experiment?

• The celery changes color

• The celery becomes softer

• The celery produces flowers

• The celery grows taller

What is the role of xylem in plants?

• Absorbing sunlight for photosynthesis

• Protecting the plant from pests

• Transporting food from the leaves to the roots

• Transporting water and nutrients from the soil to the leaves

What is the function of phloem in plants?

• Providing structural support

• Absorbing water from the soil

• Transporting nutrients from leaves to roots

• Transporting water from roots to leaves
