Question

If a shoot of a balsam plant is dipped in a red solution ? what would happen ?

Answer 1

nothing would happen

Answer 2

When the balsam plant's shoot is dipped in a 'red solution', the colour of the 'balsam flower' changes to red colour.

EXPLANATION:

This happens because the solution is transported through the plant capillaries to the flower. The red solution moves upwards through the transport system of the plant shoot.

The transport system contains xylem tissues which moves the red coloured solution to all other parts of a plant. The solution on reaching the flower turns its colour red.
