Answer:

Salt is commonly used in the cold climatic regions, where the snow accumulation blocks the roads. These salts are then helpful in melting the snow and clear the road for transportation. The use of this salt has a direct impact on the plants that are located adjacent to the roads. These salt particles when mixes with the soil, the solute concentrations present in the soil decreases the growing potential of the plant by decreasing the amount of water that the plant can hold. This also results in excessive loss of water. Thus, the plants in this region appears to wilt during the spring season.

Which structure would be unaffected by the peripheral nervous system?
Sphinxa [80]

Also, the spinal cord would also be unaffected since it is just a cylindrical bundle of nerve fibers that allow the connection of the peripheral nerves to the brain.</span>
