Question

Now let's look at an example in a plant cell from a leaf. Use the slider to examine a plant cell before and after the plant was watered with very salty water. After watering with salt water, the plant wilted. Propose an explanation as to why the plant wilted using evidence from the cell diagrams

Answer 1

The plant wilted as the salt absorbed all the water in the large vacuole. For which it shrunk making the plant wilt

Answer 2

Answer:The reason for the plant that its leaf got wilted after being watered with salty water is that salty water is so dense that it does not allows for osmosis through the plant tissues ans eventually it dehydrates the plant by actually taking water out of the plant.

There are chances that the salt water can be poisonous to the plant. Too much salt interferes in the chemical processes which the plant uses to spread the nutrients in the plant. This can kill the plant.
