Land plants normally need to absorb water that is in the sol environment around their roots to maintain homeostasis. What is the best question a researcher could ask to determine if a plant can maintain homeostasis in a particular environment?Is the water in the soil hypertonie to the plant cells so they can boord water?Is the water in the sol hypotonic to the plant cells so they can absorb water?Is the water in the soil isotonic to the root cells so they can remain the same size?is the water in the soil istoric to the root cells so they can absorb water?

Answer: Is the water in the soil hypotonic to the plant cells so they can absorb water?

Step-by-step explanation: hypotonic solution is one that has a lower concentration of solute (in the soil in this case) in relation to the internal medium of the cell (plant cells).

That is, inside the cell there ir a greater amount of salt than is found in the soil.

Under these conditions, water diffuses into the cell, osmosis of liquid into the cell occurs.

All this means that plants will be able to absorb water, and this, along with other factors will give the plant the opportunity to mantain homeostasis in a particular enviroment.
