Chlorophyll's main function is to absorb light energy for photosynthesis.

Root hairs increase the surface area for water and nutrient absorption from the soil.

Stomata are small openings that facilitate gas exchange, allowing CO2 in and O2 out.

Stomata facilitate gas exchange, allowing CO2 in and O2 out.

Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars produced during photosynthesis throughout the plant.

Tropisms are growth responses that direct plants towards or away from environmental stimuli.

Secondary metabolites serve as defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens.

Tropisms are growth responses that direct plant growth towards or away from environmental stimuli.

Auxins inhibit the growth of lateral buds, maintaining apical dominance in plants.

Mycorrhizal associations enhance nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus, benefiting plant growth.

The apical meristem is responsible for growth in length, contributing to root, stem, and leaf development.

Gravitropism is the growth response of plants to the direction of gravity.

Transpiration is the process of water vapor loss from plant surfaces, primarily through stomata.

Transpiration is the process of water vapor loss from plant surfaces, mainly through stomata.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.

Phototropism is the growth response of plants to light direction.

Phototropism is the growth response of plants to light direction.

Germination is the process by which seeds develop into new plants under suitable conditions.

The relationship between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is a mutualistic symbiosis.

Phloem is responsible for the transport of nutrients and sugars throughout the plant.

Roots are primarily responsible for water absorption and nutrient uptake from the soil.

Ethylene is the hormone that regulates the ripening of fruits.

Ethylene is the hormone that regulates the ripening of fruits, promoting changes in color and texture.

Ethylene is the hormone that regulates the ripening process in fruits, influencing color and texture changes.

Ethylene is the hormone that plays a key role in the ripening of fruits.

Leaves are the primary structures involved in photosynthesis, containing chlorophyll for light absorption.

Flowers are the reproductive structures of angiosperms, facilitating pollination and seed formation.

Leaves are the primary structures where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll.

Phototropism is the growth of a plant towards light, driven by differential growth rates.

Secondary growth refers to the increase in girth of stems and roots, primarily in woody plants.
