Here are the suggested answers to your questions along with a summary:
### Question 1
**Answer:** cellular respiration
### Question 2
**Answer:** It is a vascular plant, and the structures are leaves.
### Question 3
**Answer:** The sugar can help the plant survive by storing energy.
### Question 4
**Answer:** flowers on the plant
### Question 5
**Answer:** Plants grow toward things they need.
### Question 6
**Answer:** amount of water
### Question 7
**Answer:** hydrotropism and thigmotropism
### Question 8
**Answer:** touch
### Question 9
**Answer:** A warm and dry summer in the taiga biome would lead to increased stress on both plants and animals due to the limited availability of water, one of the critical abiotic factors. Plants may struggle to photosynthesize effectively, stunting their growth and reproduction. Animals dependent on these plants for food may migrate in search of moisture, or they may have to adapt by altering their foraging habits or diets to survive the harsher conditions.
### Question 10
**Answer:** Vascular plants obtain water through specialized structures called xylem, allowing them to transport water efficiently throughout the plant and grow taller. In contrast, nonvascular plants rely on osmosis and diffusion to absorb water directly from their environment, which limits their height since they lack the means to transport water over long distances, restricting them to shorter forms.
### Question 11
**Answer:** The roots of a plant serve to absorb water and nutrients from the soil, providing essential support and stability. If a disease harms the roots of a flowering plant, it would significantly impair the plant’s ability to obtain water and nutrients, leading to wilting and ultimately jeopardizing its survival.
### Question 12
**Answer:** One adaptation seen on the rose plant is the presence of thorns, which serve as a defense mechanism against herbivores looking to eat the plant. Another adaptation is the vibrant colors of the rose flower, which attract pollinators for reproduction, ensuring that the plant can produce seeds and sustain its species.
### Summary of Answers
1. Cellular respiration
2. It is a vascular plant, and the structures are leaves.
3. The sugar can help the plant survive by storing energy.

7. Hydrotropism and thigmotropism
8. Touch
9. Plants and animals affected by a warm, dry summer; potential adaptations discussed.
10. Vascular plants use xylem; nonvascular plants depend on osmosis.
11. Roots absorb water and nutrients; diseases would affect survival.
12. Thorns for defense; flower colors attract pollinators.
