Plants have a vascular system (analogous to ours) made of Xylem, cells which bring nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and Phloem, cells that move sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant. when you bend or snap the stem, these "veins" can be broken, and will no longer transfer nutrients to and from the upper part of the plant, even standing the stem back up will not reconnect these. and, like cutting off circulation to your hand, the part not receiving nutrients will soon shrivel and die.

Answer:

The entry of food into the stomach.

Plants use glucose to synthesize cellulose. Which statement accurately describes this process?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Sugar, which is a product of the photosynthetic process of green plants can be converted to glucose (a simple carbohydrate). Enormous amount of these glucose molecules can be linked together to form a complex carbohydrate called cellulose, which is a polysaccharide because it is made up of a long chain of glucose molecules. The cellulose is ultimately used to build the cell wall of plants.

Anabolism is the production of a complex molecule by a living organism from a much simpler one. Since, cellulose is produced by the building up of glucose molecules, the process can therefore, said to be anabolic
