I see you posted the same question twice :P
What do plants under water (and also above water) need to live?
It has to do something with plants being green.

Answer 3

@bigpd96 any idea?

Answer 4

what should the water be so the plant can live underwater? I don't now maybe I understand the qustion wrong

Answer 5

Yes, first you have to know what plants in general need to live. Why are they green?

Answer 6

I could tell you the answer but you wouldn't understand why :P

Answer 7

They are green because of the chlorophyll which absorbs red and blue light but reflects mainly green light. I think the answer is transperency, so the plant can still absorb the sunlight for photosynthesis?

Answer 8

Exactly! when the water is not transparent, no light will reach the plant. Light is needed for photosynthesis. The plant needs photosynthesis to produce glucose which it needs to live.

Answer 9

thank you :)
