Q

what are the cells that surround the nerves angiosperm phloem cells?

A
  • they are called companion cells
  • they are required as philemon cells are specialized and cannot survive alone
  • have plasmodesmata

carbon dioxide

22
Q

Plants near micro nutrients such as:

A

-nitrogen to make proteins
- carbon dioxide for photosynthesis

23
Q

leaves…?

A

-have stomata on their lower surfaces
- get water primary from transpiration in vascular plants
- can have spongy and palisade mesophyll

24
Q

What is not a property of water that exist in plant transpiration?
