Front

What are the main components of the root system?

Back

The root system includes roots that anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Front

What role do stomata play in plant physiology?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange and transpiration.

Front

What is the significance of guard cells?

Back

Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata, controlling gas exchange and water loss.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
