After Michelle went on vacation for two weeks, she came home to find her potted plants had turned brown and died. The soil was very dry. While Michelle was away, she kept the curtains and windows closed and did not have a neighbor come by to water her plants. Michelle now realizes that she will have to do things differently the next time she is away for several days if she wants to keep her plants alive. Why is it important for Michelle to make sure her plants have their needs meet while she is away? A.
She needs to make sure the plant receives water, sunlight, and air. Plants need all components to make their own food.

B.
She needs to be sure to put plant food in the pot. Plants need to be feed because they do not make their own food.

C.
She needs to add a lot of water to the pot before leaving. Plants only need moist soil to make their own food.

D.
She needs to keep the curtains open or set the plant outside. Plants only need sunlight to make their own food.
