Question

1. what happens to water absorbed by the roots of plants? a. it stays in the roots b. it turns into condensation c. it becomes runoff d. it is released back into the air 6. how do fronts affect weather? a. they bring changes in weather b. they only affect wind speed c. they only occur at night d. they have no impact on weather

Explanation:

• For question 5: Plants absorb water through roots, and most of it is lost to the air via transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which water is released from plant leaves into the atmosphere. Option a is incorrect as water doesn't just stay in roots. Condensation (option b) is water changing from gas to liquid, not related here. Runoff (option c) is water flowing on land, not relevant to plant - absorbed water's fate.
• For question 6: Fronts are boundaries between air masses. When a front passes, it can bring changes like temperature changes, precipitation, wind changes etc. Option b is wrong as fronts affect more than just wind speed. Option c is incorrect as fronts can occur at any time. Option d is wrong as fronts clearly have an impact on weather.

Answer:

1. d. It is released back into the air
2. a. They bring changes in weather
