True or False: Flowers continue to photosynthesize after being cut.

The statement that flowers continue to photosynthesize after being cut is false. After being severed from their root system, flowers and other cut plants lose their access to water and nutrients, which are essential for the photosynthesis process. While the chlorophyll in the petals and leaves may remain intact for a period, the lack of connection to the plant's vascular system means that the necessary substances required for performing photosynthesis, such as water and minerals, are unavailable.

In contrast, any remaining cut flowers will typically have some residual energy stored from before being cut, but they will not be able to produce new energy through photosynthesis. Instead, they will rely on these stored energy resources until they deplete, which leads to wilting and eventual decay.

Other choices like "not applicable" or "condition-dependent" are less relevant because the fundamental biological processes regarding photosynthesis remain the same once a flower is severed from its root system.
