Students 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 photosynthesis 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?
