Chemotrophs (Bacteria) are essential in the conversion of nitrogen containing compounds to nitrogen forms that are accessible and usable by plants.
Areoles are the tissue that make up most of the stem of cacti. These are specialized structure that give birth to flowers and are often tubular and multipetaled. This structure enables the plant to survive in the harsh conditions of the desert and help them absorb water from the soil efficiently.
Answer:
Step 1
The plant takes in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through the stomata on its leaves. It is worth noting that there are some stomata on the stems as well.
Step 2
Water gets into the plant mainly through the roots and finds its way to the leaves, where photosynthesis occurs. Plant roots are specially designed to draw water from the ground and transport it to the plant leaves through the stem.
Step 3
Chlorophyll, the green coloring matter of the leaf, traps the energy from sunlight as it shines on the leaf. It is worth noting that it is chlorophyll that gives the leaf its green color.
Step 4
The solar energy is used to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen. Then hydrogen is combined with carbon dioxide to make sugar, which is food for the plant. Oxygen is released as a byproduct through the stomata.
