a. carry out photosynthesis.

b. absorb water through their roots.

c. transport water up their stems.

d. extract as much nitrogen from soil.

e. store carbohydrates in their roots.

Choose the possible places a water molecule can go once it has traveled from the roots to a leaf cell.  A. Return to the soil  B. Release to the atmosphere  C. Store in central vacuole  D. Mitochondria
A group of researchers run an experiment to determine the effect of mycorrhizae (a fungus) on plant growth. The researchers set up three experimental groups: A large amount of mycorrhizae is applied to the plants in group 1 a smaller amount of mycorrhizae is applied to the plants in group 2, and no mycorrhizae is applied to the plants in group 3. Which group(s) is/are the experimental group(s)? More than one answer may be correct. Select all that apply. O Group 3 Group 2 Group 1
