What is the main function of leaves?

a)

Leaves provide support for growth and a place to store food.

b)

Leaves provide a place for photosynthesis to occur.

c)

Leaves absorb water and minerals and transport nutrients to the stem.

d)

Leaves create a barrier that prevents water in the plant's tissues from evaporating.

14.

The cambuim is a section of cells in a plant that can become either part of the xylem or phloem, depending on the growth and needs of the plant. If the cambium of a particular plant was damaged, what would be the most likely effect on the plant?
