Question

Students are asked to pair a plant structure to its physiological function as well as give evidence for why

that structure is important for the process they describe.

• Shantal: The cambium are important for photosynthesis because they allow water into the plant

which is needed as a reactant for photosynthesis.

• Jamil: The phloem is needed for cellular respiration as it transports the carbon dioxide to the leaves

in order to perform cellular respiration.

• Enrique: The guard cells are needed during food production because they regulate how much water

the plant retains or loses during glycolysis.

• Anne: The seeds of the plant are needed for reproductive purposes and they can be dispersed or

spread out over a large area.

Which student correctly described a plant structure, its physiological function, and gave appropriate

evidence?

O Shantal

O Jamil

O Enrique

O Anne

Answer 1

The student who correctly described a plant structure, its physiological function, and gave appropriate evidence is Anne.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student who correctly described a plant structure, its physiological function, and gave appropriate evidence is Anne.

Anne correctly stated that the seeds of the plant are needed for reproductive purposes and they can be dispersed or spread out over a large area. This is an important function of seeds in plants as it allows for the establishment of new individuals in different locations.

Anne provided evidence for the importance of seeds in reproduction, which is their ability to be dispersed or spread out. This allows plants to colonize new areas and increase their chances of survival and reproduction.
