explain the importance of mycorrhizae and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in plant nutrition?
Sudents are asked to pair a plant structure to its physiological function and give evidence for why that structure is important for the process they describe
Anne: The root hairs are used to pull in sugars available in the soil that give the plant energy for growth and reproduction.
Jamil: The phloem is needed for cellular respiration as it transports the carbon dioxide to the leaves in order to perform cellular respiration.
Shantal: The cambium is important for phossynthesis because it allows water into the plant which is needed as a reactant for photosynthesis.
Enrique The guard cells are needed during transpiration because they open and close to regulate the gases that enter and leave the plant.
Which student correctly described a plant structure and its physiological function?
