Front

How does the shoot system contribute to plant survival?

Back

The shoot system transports water and nutrients, which are essential for growth and survival.

Front

What is the difference between the shoot system and the root system?

Back

The shoot system is above ground and includes stems and leaves, while the root system is below ground and anchors the plant, absorbing water and nutrients.

Front

What is photosynthesis and how is it related to the shoot system?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, primarily occurring in the leaves of the shoot system.

Front

Why is the stem important in the shoot system?

Back

The stem supports the plant, elevates leaves for sunlight exposure, and transports water and nutrients between roots and leaves.
