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.
