During winters freezing temperatures, some plants can remove water from their cells to reduce the amount of water that will freeze inside them. Why would plants need to do this?

A. The frozen water constricts organelles and causes plant cells to shrink.

B. As the water contracts during freezing, the cells would pull away from each other, causing damage.

C. Less water in the cells means the cells are smaller and need to do less work.

D. The expansion of excess water as it turns to ice inside the cells would break the cells apart.

Plants remove the excess water through the process of transpiration. Transpiration is the process in which water is pulled up to the leaves and is then released into the surrounding.

The correct answer is:

Option D. The expansion of excess water as it turns to ice inside the cells would break the cells apart.

The plants remove water in winter because:

The ice is the solid form of water and occupies more space in the cells of the plant.

The water will expand in winter during the formation of ice.

The volume of water in the ice is more than the liquid water, thus will occupy more space and volume.

The plant cells will remove excess water to prevent the cells from bursting and breaking cells apart.

Therefore, Option D is correct.
