Question
Chapter 36.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Which plant organs act as sugar sources, sugar sinks, and organs that might be either?
Concept introduction: Plants perform photosynthesis through which they generate their own food by using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar in the presence of chlorophyll. That’s why plants are known as being self-sufficient. The sugar produced by plants is used in respiration, gets converted into starch and is stored in the plant for growth.
