Sometimes when plants are under water stress, they wilt. Animals do not wilt! Review the plant cell structure. What analogy based on the plant cell structure explains wilting?
A) The chloroplast are like a factory. When the plant is water stressed, the chloroplast stops producing energy and the plant wilts.
B) The cell wall is like a cardboard box. When the plant is water stressed, the cell wall folds, like someone crushing the cardboard box.
C) The large vacuole is like a water-filled balloon. When the plant is water stressed, the water leaves the vacuole and the cells shrinks.
D) The plasma membrane is like the drain in your sink. When the plant is water stressed, the plasma membrane stops water from going into and out of the cell.
