What happens to carbon dioxide in a plant when it dies?

When a plant dies, the carbon stored in its tissues is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the process of decomposition. Microorganisms break down the plant material, releasing the carbon dioxide that was stored during the plant's lifetime. This contributes to the carbon cycle by returning carbon from the plant back to the atmosphere.

What life characteristic happens when a plant wilts and dies from drying out?

When a plant wilts and dies from drying out, it is experiencing dehydration, which disrupts its ability to perform vital functions like photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. This ultimately leads to wilting as the plant's cells lose turgor pressure and structural support, causing it to collapse and eventually die.

What happens when xylem dries up and dies in phloem?

When xylem dries up and dies, it affects the transport of water and nutrients in the plant, leading to wilting and potential death of the plant. If phloem dies, it can disrupt the transport of sugars and other organic compounds, affecting plant growth and possibly leading to issues like reduced fruit production or stunted development. Both xylem and phloem are essential for the proper functioning of a plant's vascular system.
