    1)The nicotine goes into the heart, this makes it beat faster and grow so that there is more blood needed for the heart, can lead to low blood pressure. If it grow too big and beats too fast, the person could die.

    2)Cold tolerance would help the plant to grow because it would be able to get up in the morning, even in the winter, and go and earn money. Other plants might stay in bed and just scrounge benefits. With the money it earns from the job, it could go to the garden centre to buy fertiliser and stuff, which would help it to grow.

    3)Yes.


    Only one of those 3 answers is correct.

    Hint: people are more likely to help if you attempt to do the question, otherwise it just feels like were doing your homework.
