Question
Chapter 34.5, Problem 10LO
Summary Introduction
To list: Four examples of modified leaves and give the function of each.
Introduction: Asexual reproduction is a common mode of reproduction found in plants in which a single parent can give rise to the offspring. In such mode of reproduction, a part of the plant becomes separated from the parent and grows into a genetically identical plant through mitosis. Certain plant parts such as stem, root, leaf, and buds are modified to perform specific functions.

Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals.
Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair.
Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants.
7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from?
Plants make their own nitrogen.
B Plants get it from animals.
Plants get it from the soil.
D
Plants have special structures to break down
atmospheric nitrogen.
