The correct answer is - the root/the tuber.

The potato plant is a plant that is part of the tuber plants. This type of plants do not use their root as the other plants do. The root in these plants is used both for food production and for food storage, with the food storage actually being its primary function.

Because of this, these plants have roots that rounded or elongated, but solid and as one part, not divided into multiple parts. Their roots have been called tubers because of their shape, but also because of their function. The biggest portion of the stored food in the tubers is starch. The potato is actually the vegetable that has the biggest amount of natural sugars in it through the high amount of starch.

A population of plants produces flowers. The flowers are either brightly colored with no odor or are brightly colored with a rot
dolphi86 [110]

Answer: This brightly colored trait in this scenario is an example of natural selection

Explanation:

The aim of natural selection is to ensure the traits that make species better fitted to environmental pressures remain while other are eliminated.

Thus, the brightly colored trait in this scenario is an example of natural selection because:

- it appears in all population of the flower-producing plants making it well adapted to the environment.

- its emitting of no odor or rotting odor is simply a chemical defence mechanism in order to avoid from eaten by animals.

Explain how the term "photosynthesis” encapsulates the two stages of photosynthesis.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. Light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle, which takes place in the stroma, uses energy derived from these compounds to make GA3P from CO2.
