Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction: What is one cost to the parent plant of retaining the newly formed offspring on the parent plant until the offspring is established in the ground? The parent plants cost is the energy needed to produce sugar to supply to the developing offspring as the offspring has no source for attaining carbohydrates. O The parent plants cost is it needs to supply the offspring with CO2 for photosynthesis. O The parent plants cost is the energy to grow more roots so it can supply the offspring with water and nutrients. The parent plant needs to defend the offspring from herbivory.

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.
