Grace and Linda investigate the effects of three growing conditions on plants. They place each of three plants that are the same size and type into its own container. The containers are the same size and shape. 1. Plant W is given soil and water and is put in a clear plastic box where all of the air is removed. 2. Plant X is given soil and left out in the open, but it does not receive water. 3. Plant Y is placed in water and left out in the open, but it does not receive soil. The diagram shows how the plants look after a few days. What can be concluded about the effects of different growing conditions on plants W, X, and Y?
