There are some areas, such as marshes, where oxygen is lower in the water. Plant roots that are in waterlogged soil that does not receive a lot of oxygen can undergo anaerobic respiration. Why does this adaptation help these plants survive?

Question

*
The plants can get oxygen from the air and convert it to energy
Plant roots will be able to use anaerobic respiration to break down glucose in the roots that was produced during photosynthesis
Plants roots can convert water to oxygen
Plants roots will be able to use aerobic respiration to break down glucose in the roots
Other:

Answer 1

The adaptation helps these plants survive because plant roots will be able to use anaerobic respiration to break down glucose in the roots that was produced during photosynthesis. This allows the plants to generate energy in environments where oxygen is scarce, enabling them to sustain their metabolic functions and continue to grow despite the challenging conditions of waterlogged, low-oxygen soils.

Answer 2

Read the following statement and choose the option that has the respective answers in the correct order. " Energy inputs occur via____________ or ingesting food; this energy drives the flow of matter into and out of the cell. The energy is released by ____________ and eventually cycles back into the ecosystem as ______________. "
*
respiration; photosynthesis; waste
photosynthesis; respiration; waste
photosynthesis; respiration; heat
respiration; photosynthesis; heat
Other:

Answer 3

The correct option that fills in the blanks in the statement is: photosynthesis; respiration; heat.

So the complete statement would read: "Energy inputs occur via photosynthesis or ingesting food; this energy drives the flow of matter into and out of the cell. The energy is released by respiration and eventually cycles back into the ecosystem as heat."
