Answer:

The stomata open to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaves.

Explanation:

Higher plants are made up of two major system parts namely: shoot system and root system. The shoot system constitutes every part of the plant above the ground i.e leaves, fruits, stem etc. while the root system constitutes the part below ground i.e the roots. The shoot system and root system, however, interacts in several ways to ensure that the plant functions optimally. The ways they interact include:

- The roots (root system) absorb water from the soil, which is transported upwards to prevent leaves (shoot system) from drying up.

- The phloem, which is a conducting tissue, transports sugars (product of photosynthesis) from the leaves (shoot system) to the root nodules (root system) for storage.

- Nutrients are absorbed from the soil by the roots (root system) and moved to the stems (shoot system).

Note that, although it is true that "stomata in the leaves open to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaves", there is no connection between the shoot and root system.

A neuron transmits information by the secretion of hormones. True or False
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.

The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).

The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.
