Concept explainers
To determine: The way in which a root cell obtains energy.
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules by using energy from sunlight. The process of conversion of light energy to the chemical energy occurs in the two phases of reactions, the light-dependent reaction and carbon fixation reaction (dark reactions).

- Why is phloem transport considered an active process?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a function of the stem in a plant? Which of the following is NOT a function of the stem in a plant? A) absorb water B) store nutrients C) produce new plant cells D) support flowers and leavesarrow_forwardHow do the components of phloem work together?arrow_forward
- What is meant by suction force of the plant cell? Does the suction force facilitate or make difficult the entrance of water into the cell?arrow_forward(a) What is the shape and arrangement of the palisade mesophyll in the dicot leaf? (b) What is the shape and arrangement of the spongy mesophyll in the dicot leaf?arrow_forwardWhat is the function of the phloem? to store food to support the plant's stem to transport water and mineral ions to transport sugars and amino acidsarrow_forward
- What is false about the image below? A) The cells are part of plant ground tissue B) The cells are parenchyma cells. C) The cells provide flexible support. D) The cells would be a site of starch storage if they were in the roots 373arrow_forwardWhat is Plant root?arrow_forwardWhy do plants expend energy to transport minerals into root hairs?arrow_forward
- students 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 transports the carbon dioxide the leaves in order to perform cellular respiration Shantal The cambium is important for photosynthesis because it allows water into the plant 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 student correctly described a plant structure and its physiological function?arrow_forwardHow does oxygen get to the different parts of the plants?arrow_forwardArrange the following subset of cell depreciation during plant growth ( in length ) in the correct sequence . 1) cell division in primary meristem . 2) cell division in apical meristem . 3) differentiated cells . 4) growing cells in primary meristem.arrow_forward
