NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants need nutrients from the soil, water, and light from the sun to grow and stay alive. If plants did not get water, they would die.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a plant is properly hydrated, there is enough water pressure to make the leaves strong and sturdy; when a plant doesn’t get enough water, the pressure inside the stems and leaves drops and they wilt.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drought tolerant plants are quite rare in nature and can endure long periods with no water at all. Some of the most spectacular drought tolerant plants are called resurrection plants. Resurrection plants are able to survive long periods (up to 3 years!) without any water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, plants grow in water. Some plants such as lotus and water lily grow in water.

Detailed explanation-5: -The typical fully-grown plants can go without water for a week before they start showing symptoms. This will depend on the type of plant as succulents can go for months without water, dormant plants can go for weeks, but fruit, vegetable, and flowering plants won’t last more than 4 to 7 days.
