5. At the end of your experiment, examine the whole plant carefully (stem, leaves, buds,

                        petals, etc). What parts can you see the food color in?

                   Most plants "drink" water from the ground through their roots. The water travels up the stem 

                   of the plant into the leaves and flowers. The plant uses the water to make food.

                   When a flower is cut, it no longer has it's roots. But the stem of the flower still "drinks" up

                   the water and provides it to the leaves and flowers. Note: Red and blue food coloring work

                   the fastest.
