A pupil accidentally "watered" a potted plant with a concentrated salt solution. After sometime the plant began to wilt.
Which of the following activities would revive the plant?
Covering the plant with dark paper to prevent further water loss from its surfaces
Leaving the plant to adapt to the condition
Exposing the plant to higher concentration of oxygen
Adding more water to the soil
Forklaring
If a plant is dehydrated, it can wilt and become unable to perform vital functions such as photosynthesis. To revive the plant, it is important to add more water to the soil as it will replenish the water supply for the plant, allowing it to recover and continue performing its functions.
