                   take motors by  placing  wooden                  become wilted. Here we identify
                   sticks on the top of the motor and               that for plants water is necessary.
                   place  the  motors  in  the  vessels,
                   by  switching  on  motors  then  it           Take  another  plant  and  cut  the

                   turbines. Turbines are made up of                see  some  layers  inside  the  stem,
                   wood  and  these  are  used  to                  these  layers  are  phloem  (which
                   produce        electric       current            transfers  food  to  plant),  xylem
                   from streams, dams, rivers, etc.                 (which  transfers  water  to  the

                Another  simple  experiment  with
                   vegetables:  collect  some  lemons            Xylem         and      phloem       are
                   and oranges into a bowl and now                  collectively  known  as  vascular
                   take  a  knife  and  cut  them  into             bundles of the plants.
