Topic 1 - $300 Samantha carried out a test with two identical plants. She gave both plants the same amount of water every day for 4 weeks. However, she gave each plant its water in a different way.

Both plants grew the same amount because plants take in water through their roots and leaves. C. The first plant lived, but the second plant wilted and died because plants take in water through their roots. D.

The plant in the first box grows to the right, while the plant in the second box grows straight up. C. The plant in the first box does not grow at all, while the plant in the second box grows normally. D.
