15.

you come into class and see that your flower in the stand is wilted. You quickly bring it to my attention and I add water to all the cups. By the end of the day when you come by you notice that your flower is standing up tall. What caused this to occur?

a)

The water increased the turgor pressure inside the plants cells, exerting an outward force on the cell walls.

b)

Hydrotropism

c)

The water decreased the turgor pressure inside the plants cells, exerting an inward force on the cell walls.

d)

The water increased the weight of the plant cells, allowing gravity to exert a downward force straightening them
