Janet claims that plant structures can always do their jobs to help a plant grow. Raul claims that sometimes plant structures need help doing their jobs. He gives her an example that people sometimes use metal cages to help grow tomato plants. The picture shows tomato plants grown with cages.

• Reverse the direction of the arrows for water.

• Reverse the direction of the arrows for sugar.

• Switch the labels for carbon dioxide and oxygen.
