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.

- 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 Enriquearrow_forwardAnswer the following questions with explanation Give three examples of nutrient deficiencies in plants and the corresponding symptoms. Research on examples of parasitic plants and predator plants. Give an example for each.
