Students are asked to pair a plant structure to its physiological function as well as give evidence for why that structure is important for the process they describe.
• Shantal: The cambium are important for photosynthesis because they allow water into the plant
which is needed as a reactant for photosynthesis.
• Jamil: The phloem is needed for cellular respiration as it transports the carbon dioxide to the leaves
in order to perform cellular respiration.
• Enrique: The guard cells are needed during food production because they regulate how much water
the plant retains or loses during glycolysis.
• Anne: The seeds of the plant are needed for reproductive purposes and they can be dispersed or
spread out over a large area.
Which student correctly described a plant structure, its physiological function, and gave appropriate
evidence?
O Shantal
