Just as in humans, systems interact in plants to maintain homeostasis and accomplish the functions of transport, reproduction, and response. What are some examples of plant processes that involve an interaction between stems, roots, and leaves?
A)
Water is transported up the stem from roots to leaves via the xylem.
B)
Photosynthesis in the leaves requires water to be absorbed by the root
system.
Root growth requires the transport of glucose from the leaves through the
xylem.
D)
Oxygen produced in photosynthesis is transported to the roots where is
can be released into the soil.
E)
Glucose produced in the leaves through photosynthesis is transported
throughout the plant via the phloem.
