What is the function of phloem in plants?

Back

Phloem is responsible for transporting food (sugars) from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

Why is photosynthesis important for life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis is important because it produces oxygen for animals to breathe, creates energy for heterotrophs, and provides food for plants.

Front

What is the role of xylem in plants?

Back

Xylem transports water and nutrients from the roots to the stems and leaves of the plant.

Front

What are root hairs?

Back

Root hairs are tiny extensions of root cells that increase the surface area for water and nutrient absorption from the soil.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to perform photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of oxygen produced during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen produced during photosynthesis is essential for the survival of most living organisms, as it is used for respiration.

Front

What is a producer in an ecosystem?

Back

A producer is an organism, like a plant, that can make its own food through photosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food (like plants), while heterotrophs are organisms that consume other organisms for energy.
