what is the effect of different types of water on plants?

Rain water is good for plants. Put a barrel or bucket out to capture rain water, add a bit of bagged manure from the garden section,let it sit and use that water for your plants. They will grow spectacularly :)\nTap water has been treated and lost all of it's natural minerals.\nWell water is a very good water source also as it has all it's natural minerals.

A hydrophyte is a plant adapted to growing in water.

Maybe the MgCl woulf affect the plant by some chemical reaction i dunno what you are asking.

water is an important component that contribute to plant growth..water can liquidify the chemical substances inside the plant and the nutrient can be readily absorb by the flowers....water reach flowers by the transpirational pulls

The reason why salt water kills the plant is because the concentration of osmolites (salt disolved in water) is so high that it will draw the water out of the roots into the soil solution (a process called osmosis). It will dry the plant. The same happens with too much fertilizer. And the exact same thing happens with sugar, which is also a very powerfull osmolite.\nThe sugar molecule cannot be absorbed by roots, so that won't help the plant, even at non restrictive concentrations.\nAloe vera, on the other hand, is a dessert plant and should resist some concentration of osmolites in the solution (that is, howevere, my guess). You can probably test how much sugar and/or salt it resists...keep in mind, though, that if you water the plant with sugar water (or saltwater) once, and it dries up, the sugar will remain in the soil, so don't water it again with sugar water because you will be doubling th concentration.

well photosynthesis is a good way to start. the water from the roots are pulled by cohesion and then it leaves from the stroma in the plant leaves.

Others have answered the question with drinking salt water.  The stomatas are pores in leaves that regulate the absorption & evaporation of water, along with gas exchange.\n\nDepending on the evnironmental condition, stomata will open up if there's lots of moisture in envoronment to absrob extra water.  If environment is dry, stomata will close to conserve its water content by reduing the evaporation.\n\nEffects of salt water on stomata, I'm not very sure but it's sure to give a lot of stress on the plant.  Stomata will open up a lot more in wet condition, and close longer & tightly during dry condition.\n\nSo main thing is, that if you give plants salt water, it's like giving very little water.

adaptations\nWetland plants are referred to as hydrophytic plants because they live in water.  These plants are herbaceous, shrubs, or trees that have developed a special adaptation that enable them to survive the stressful conditions characteristic of wetlands such as: \n\n                                                                       1.  fluctuations in water levels \n\n                                                                       2.  permanent saturation with water \n\n                                                                       3.  decreased oxygen \nhttp://web.utk.edu/~ctmelear/ossabaw/LeggettVestWilliams/N_Vest2.html\n\n1.  Many wetland plants have special air or pore spaces in their roots and stems called aerenchyma through which oxygen can enter the plant and be transported to its roots. \n\n2.  Some plants have hollowed stems that transport oxygen to the roots \n\n3.  Woody plants pump oxygen from their stems to their roots. \n\n4.  Many wetland trees have very shallow root systems, swollen trunks, or roots that grow above the ground.  Examples of this are the cypress knees seen in swamps. \n\n5.  Some plants develop adaptations that allow them to tolerate salt water.  These plants are called halophytes.  Some adaptations of these plants are: \n                    - develop ways to reduce salt intake by the roots called salt water exclusion \n                    - some take the salt in but have salt-secreting glands to remove the salt \n                    - Some develop salt concentrating glands like fleshy leaves.  They collect salt in these leaves and then shed them \n                    - Some plants have succulent leaves, store water, and then use it to dilute the concentration of salt \n                    - Some plants have salt water proofed theirselves by developing a waxy covering \n                    - Some reduce their leaf surface to minimize exposure to salt \n                    - some isolate salt into internal organs

The plant idea of a previous answer is great, that is, assess the effect of a lack of water, sunlight, soil, air, etc. on plants.\n\nOr what about feeding a plant different liquids (tap water, rain water, salt water, coke, kool aid, etc.) and assess the different affects.\n\nOr "put aluminum/steel cans in different liquids (tap water, rain water, salt water, coke, kool aid, etc.) to assess their effect on oxidation (rusting)"\n\nThe affect of the gender/age/race of the interviewer on survey responses.\n\nOr what about the effect of using different candies/sodas on the old diet coke/mentos fountain.?\n\nOr, depending on where you're located, the affect of elevation of an automobile's gas mileage.\n\nFinally, you could look at the affect of sleep deprivation on an individual.\n\nGood luck

Try this website, it has some good explanations of things like total dissolved solids, dissolved carbonates, boron, and other things often found in water used for growing plants. There's even a little information that is specific to grasses. \nhttp://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/ageng/irrigate/eb66w.htm#plants\n\nBy the way, I found this using the search terms:\nirrigation water\nSo if you want to duplicate my search and see other results this should get you going.

Cohesion of water. Water that leaves through the leaves drags some water with it up from the roots.

Most plants grow best in damp soil that is most similar to their natural habitat.  If you put a plant in pure water it will get the water it needs but not the other nutrients that it also needs, especially nitrogen which is an important part of many plant molecules.\n\nSo, generally, no.  However there are of course some plants that can grow in water, assuming you add the nutrients to the water.

Excellent question.  \n\nThis is due to a process called osmosis.  Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules in and out of a partially permeable membrane (a kind of barrier that only allows certain molecules to pass through), from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration.\n\nIts pretty self-explanatory here.  Since the concentration of water is higher inside than outside of the plant, water moves out of the plant, resulting in the plant dehydrating and dying.

Water equalizes the pressure between the outside and the inside of the cell wall, so it doesn't become damaged.  It also is the transport medium for nutrients coming in, and waste exiting.

Yes, actually if you water the plants too much the roots gets rotten and die, on the other hand if you don't water the plants they also die, so it has to be a balance, water moderate once a day and plenty of sunlight, that's the idea..☺
