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
