From an young age you learn to water plants and the grass to keep it green and healthy. I know other factors such as soil and nutrients play a big role but why specifically is water needed for this?
In: Chemistry
Water is one of the ingredients plants use to produce energy. Water is made up of an oxygen atom connected to two hydrogen atoms. The plant uses light energy to rip those hydrogen atoms off of the oxygen. This process creates some charged particles that the plant then uses to turn carbon dioxide into sugars. Those sugars are later used to make energy that the plant uses for lots of different things, such as making more cells.
