Question

Gordon cut all the roots off abroad-bean planted it in a flower pot .He continued to water the plants but after two days it started to wilt and after four days it was dead.Explain why this happened

Answer 1

Since he cut off all the roots of the plants, the plants cannot absorb nutrients. If they cannot absorb basic nutrients, then the plant itself cannot undergo photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, the plant cannot make food for itself, so eventually it will die.
