Question

During winter's 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

Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that water expands anomalously. It expands between 4- 0°C.

Hence water expands upon freezing. Ice has more volume than liquid water and takes up more space in plant cells.

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