Questions and Answers

What is the main function of roots in relation to light?

  • Conduct active transport of potassium ions
  • Absorb nutrients from the soil
  • Produce oxygen during photosynthesis
  • Exhibit negative phototropism to anchor the plant in the soil (correct)

How do plants obtain the oxygen gas needed for respiration?

  • Via active transport of potassium ions
  • Through the absorption of colored substances by the xylem
  • As a byproduct of photosynthesis during the day (correct)
  • By breaking down glucose and other organic molecules

What is the primary function of cellular respiration in plants and animals?

  • To produce energy in the form of ATP by breaking down glucose and other organic molecules (correct)
  • To anchor the plant in the soil through negative phototropism
  • To lengthen roots and shoots through primary growth
  • To transport water and dissolved minerals in the xylem
