Chapter 29: Resource acquisition, nutrition, & transport in vascular plants Flashcards

2195553383	Shoots systems get	sunlight and CO2	0
2195556634	Roots systems get	water and minerals	1
2196017534	Early land plants were non vascular plants that grew photosynthetic shoots above the shallow fresh water in which they lived because...	their leafless shoots typically had waxy cuticles and few stomata, which allowed them to avoid excessive water loss while still permitting some exchange of CO2 and O2 for photosynthesis	2
2196013530	Xylem	transports water and minerals from roots to shoots	3
2196013979	Phloem	transports products of photosynthesis from which they are made or stored to where they are needed	4
2200161721	The adaptations of each species represent compromises between...	enhancing photosynthesis and minimizing water loss in the species' particular habitat	5
