Which of the following adaptations is specifically not used by land plants to obtain sunlight? A) Phloem structures B) Spreading wide leaves C) Root systems reaching deep D) Growing taller
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the specific adaptation that land plants do not use to obtain sunlight from the given options. We need to evaluate each option in the context of how land plants typically adapt to capture sunlight.
Answer
Phloem structures
The final answer is Phloem structures
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Phloem structures
More Information
Phloem structures are primarily involved in the transport of nutrients (such as sugars) throughout the plant, rather than assisting in the direct acquisition of sunlight.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming all plant structures are directly involved in obtaining sunlight. Phloem and xylem transport nutrients and water, which support the plant's overall growth.
