Answer 1

Answer:

i} Too much exposure to sun or heat drains the flowers of their bright colors. ... Once pollinated, flowers no longer need to attract their pollinating suitors and, thus, begin to fade.

Explanation: Heavy rains can damage tender plants, wash away mulch, and erode soil from around plant roots.

ii} Carrots have carotene which does not dissolve in water and therefore, water remains colourless.
