Study Notes
Plant Nutrient Uptake and Storage
- Processed sap is transported from leaves to storage organs (like tubers).
- The sugar is stored as starch.
Mycorrhizae and Nodules
- Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations between fungi and plant roots.
- Nodules are formed by the association between bacteria and plant roots.
- These associations improve the growth of both partners and represent a symbiotic relationship with reciprocal benefits.
