Question
If you left a board lying on the grass for a few days, what would happen to the grass underneath the board? Why?
Solution
VerifiedAfter the board was removed, the blades of grass would probably be compressed against the ground and discolored or dead. The weight of the board would probably break the blades of grass and cause damage to the cells that transport materials throughout the blades. The plant's inability to transport water throughout the blades of grass would cause them to be limp and droopy. Furthermore, the grass would probably be discolored because it was unable to perform photosynthesis. The lack of food and nutrients would surely cause damage to the plant cells in the grass.
