- 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? O Anne Jamil O Shantal O Enriquearrow_forwardWhat are the mainfunctions of fruits?arrow_forwardIf you live to be 100 years old, how many sets of organs will you have during your lifetime? How many hearts, stomachs, and livers? If a plant lives to be 100 years old, how many sets of leaves will it probably have? If it begins blooming when it is 10 years old, how many sets of flowers? When you are 70 years old, you will still depend on your digestive system to supply you with energy for another 30 years, but how old is that set of organs? In a 70-year-old tree, how old are the cells of the leaves that supply it with energy?arrow_forward
