Question

plant system\tfunction
i. shoot system\tcollect sunlight and produce sugars
ii. shoot system\tseed dispersal
iii. root system\tabsorb water
iv. root system\tabsorb minerals and anchor plant
which of the following are directly involved in the process of photosynthesis?
select one:
○ a. ii and iv
○ b. i and iii
○ c. i, ii, and iii
○ d. i and ii

Explanation:

Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce sugars. The shoot system (I) collects sunlight and makes sugars, which is the core of photosynthesis. The root system (III) absorbs water, a key reactant for photosynthesis. Seed dispersal (II) and anchoring/mineral absorption (IV) support the plant but are not direct parts of the photosynthesis process.

Answer:

b. I and III
