How do roots help the process of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

they help give the plant water and minerals from the soilsome roots hold extra energy and minerals for later

l h e potential for photosynthetic and photoautotrophic growth

was studied in hairy root cultures of Asteraceae and Solanaceae

species. Upon transfer to light, initially heterotrophic root cultures

of Acmella oppositifolia and Dafura innoxia greened rapidly, dif-

ferentiated chloroplasts, and developed light-dependent CO, fix-

ation in the cortical cells. Photosynthetic potential was expressed

in root cultures of all the Asteraceae genera examined (Acmella,

Artemisia, Rudbeckia, Sfevia, and Tagetes). Hairy roots of A. op-

positifolia and D. innoxia were further adapted to photoautotrophy

by growing in the presence of light and added CO, (1-5%) and by

direct or sequential transfers into media containing progressively

lower sugar concentrations. l h e transition to photoautotrophy was

accompanied by an increase in COz fixation and in the specific

activity of 1,s-ri bulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (Rub-

isco). During the adaptation of A. opposififolia roots to photoau-

totrophy, the ratio of Rubisco to phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase

increased significantly, approaching that found in the leaves. l h e

levels and patterns of alkaloids and polyacetylenes produced by

Solanaceae and Asteraceae hairy roots, respectively, were dramat-

ically altered in photomixotrophic and photoautotrophic cultures.

Photoautotrophic roots of A. opposififolia have been maintained

in vitro for over 2 years.:P

Answer 2

for photosynthesis to take place you need water its one of the raw materials. thus root hair cells are found in in the roots of a plant so it can take in the water hence the large vacuole.

hope this answer helps.

Answer 3

a root hair cell increase the surface area of the root which helps it colect more water and stuff

Answer 5

The thing needed for photosynthesis are Water, Sunlight and Carbon-dioxide. Roots absorb water from soil which is essential for photosynthesis.Thus they help the process of photosynthesis.

Answer 6

roots suck up the water to keep the plant alive

while the stem is the highway of the plant

Answer 7

Root hair cells don't have chloroplast.

Answer 8

That they take in air
