Biology 225: Chapter 35 Q: What are the two systems of a plant and what are they responsible for? A: The Root System (roots) is responsible for absorbing water and minerals from the ground whereas the shoot system (the stems and leaves) is responsible for obtaining light and carbon dioxide from above the ground. Both systems cannot live without the other; the roots require sugar produced by photosynthesis which comes from the shoot system and the shoots require the water and minerals absorbed by the root system for survival. Q: What is the difference between an Angiosperm and a Gymnosperm? A: Vascular Plants with Seeds Gymnosperms Angiosperms
