Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plants produce carbohydrate by the process known as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, a plant requires carbon dioxide, water, and light to produce carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are the molecules that provide plants growth energy.

That means it has roots, stems, and leaves, but it never becomes__________________________________ and covered with__________________________ .arrow_forward) Both the caterpillar stage of the yucca moth and the ground sloth ate seeds of the yucca plant. However, when caterpillars eat, they completely digest the seed itself. When sloths ate the seeds, the seeds passed intact through the digestive system. How would you classify each of these interactions for the plant (positive or negative)? What do these interactions tell you about plant and animal interactions involving part of the plant being eaten?arrow_forwardThere are three main tissue systems in plants. For each, provide 2 functions of each tissue.arrow_forward
- Nitrogen is a vital element for plant growth, yet plants (and most other organisms) cannot access it from atmospheric nitrogen. Explain why atmospheric nitrogen is inaccessible, and describe one natural (not artificial) way that plants have evolved to obtain nitrogenous compounds, including the specific plant structures involved.arrow_forwardWhich of the following cell type remain alive in mature plant tissue? •vessel elements •tracheids •sclerenchyma •sieve elementsarrow_forwardPlants are living organisms that belong to the kingdom Plantae. They are multicellular eukaryotes, meaning they have cells with a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Plants are characterized by their ability to produce their own food through photosynthesis, a process that involves using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. One stressor for a pea plant could be exposure to high salinity in the soil. To simulate this stressor, we can water the plant with a solution containing higher levels of salt than normal. To record the impact of this stressor, we can measure the height and number of leaves of the plant. We can also measure the chlorophyll content in the leaves as an indicator of the plant's ability to carry out photosynthesis. Let's say we have two groups of pea plants, one group is watered with a normal solution and the other group is watered with a high salinity solution. After two weeks, we measure the height and number of leaves of…arrow_forward

What are these types? Cite at least one leaf adaptation (morphological/ anatomical) on each type.arrow_forwardHow may the following trends in plant evolution be adaptive to living on land?
