Interactions in Plants

A student reads this advertisement for a product containing a plant micronutrient that can be added to soil.
Based on this information, the student can conclude that boron is absorbed by plant roots from soil and then —

• transported to reproductive tissues by the plant’s shoot system
• stored in plant stems until the flowers are pollinated
• concentrated in the roots until the plant’s reproductive tissues mature
• transported by the phloem to the stomata in leaves, where it attracts pollinators
