Plant Transport and Symbiosis Quiz

Sap that carries sugar from leaves to storage organs like tubers, where it's stored as starch.

Symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots that promotes growth for both partners.

Associations between bacteria and plant roots that enhance nutrient absorption and growth.

A mutually beneficial association between different organisms, like mycorrhizae and root nodules.

The collection of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, that live in and on the body.

Essential for protecting the body from pathogens, reducing allergy risk, and aiding digestion.

Plants need water, minerals, and carbon dioxide to grow.

Extensions of root cells that increase surface area for water and mineral absorption.

Tiny pores in plant leaves that allow carbon dioxide to enter for photosynthesis.

The process plants use to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

$H_2O + CO_2 ightarrow O_2 + Glucose$ represents the transformation during photosynthesis.

Substance produced by photosynthesis used for plant growth and energy.

Water is one of the essential ingredients that plants use in photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants through stomata for photosynthesis.

Oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis, crucial for life on Earth.

Glucose is a sugar produced during photosynthesis, used for energy and growth.

Parts of plants, like tubers, where excess sugar is stored as starch.

Water, minerals, and light are critical for plant growth and health.

Root nodules increase nutrient uptake, especially nitrogen, for plants through bacteria.

Mycorrhizae improve water and nutrient absorption, aiding plant health.
