1 How long are the short distance and long distance transport in plants?

Short distance transport in plants occurs within a single cell or between neighboring cells, typically spanning a distance of only a few micrometers to a few millimeters. Long distance transport typically involves movement of water, nutrients, and organic compounds over larger distances, such as from the roots to the leaves or from the leaves to the roots, spanning up to several meters within the plant.

How was it possible that there were short plants in the f2 generation if there werent any short plants in the f1 generation?

The reason why short plants reappeared in Mendel's F2 generation of pea plants was because their short trait was heterozygous. Both parents carriedÊthat recessive gene, so they passed it on to their offspring.


Why do dry leaves burn faster than green leaves leaves?

Dry leaves burn faster than green leaves because dry leaves have a lower moisture content. Moisture in green leaves acts as a barrier to combustion, making it harder for them to catch fire. Dry leaves, on the other hand, ignite more easily due to their reduced moisture levels.


What are all of the photosynthetic organisms?

Photosynthetic organisms include plants, algae, and some bacteria such as cyanobacteria. These organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Are all leafs green?

No; leaves get their green pigment from chlorophyl, but not all plants depend primarily on chlorophyl and other pigments are present. These colors don't inhibit photosynthesis and are present along with green, but they are 'louder' (meaning you see the red but not green, for example). So short answer--no :). The colors from a leaf normally is red, brown , green, pink , purple

Wh y are most producers green in color?

Chloroplasts in the leaves contain Chlorophyll which is used by plants to produce food and Oxygen through Photosynthesis Edited answer: When sunlight (or any short of light for that reason) falls on the leaves containing chlorophyll, it reflects the green spectrum of light. Therefore, all chlorophyll containing plants (being producers) are green in color.


Where cabbage stores it's food?

Cabbages have no need to store food as they are seasonal plants and die after about 4 to 6 months. They do however produce food in the leaves of the plants and would utilize short-term storage (in the leaves) for simple metabolic processes. leaves


What is a grasshoppers shelter?

Grasshoppers use trees, leaves, and other plants for their shelter. They rest or sleep for short periods of time on a branch or a bush.


What do wildebeests eat?

What is the role in photosynthiesis?

A very short and basic answer: It is the conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy in green plants.


What must a plant do before it can be ready for photosynthesis?

For plants in general the answer is rather obvious.. plants need to get chlorophyll in contact with light. usually in the form of leaves but in general any green part of plants get their green pigment from chlorophyll and is therefore also photosynthetic... for angiosperms (seeded plants) the plant must grow from the seed to the sun.. it's energy stores from the seed are contained in cotyledons which look similar to leaves but they usually shrivel up and die before maturity. plants can grow in total darkness until the energy stores in the cotyledons are used up. so in short for angiosperms they have to be able to grow to the light to get energy before the initial seed energy stored in the cotyledons is used up.

Do plants grow taller in green light or white light?

All the colours of the rainbow have different wavelengths. For example, violet has short wavelengths, while red has long wavelengths. Visible light appears as white light because it is a mixture of all the colours. Also, chlorophyll is the principal pigment involved in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs all the different coloured wavelengths, but leaves green as the colour it reflects and as the colour we see.Therefore, white light is best to grow plants under because green light doesn't do much of anything for photosynthesis.
