Sugars pass from cell to cell in the leaf starting in the _______ of the mesophyll; they move through the _______ of other cells and finally pass into the _______ of the sieve tube element.   Select one: a. symplast or apoplast; symplast; symplast b. apoplast; apoplast; apoplast c. symplast; symplast or apoplast; apoplast d. symplast; symplast; symplast e. symplast; symplast or apoplast; symplast
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 Enrique
