Plants make food through photosynthesis, and photosynthesis takes place mostly in plant leaves, but when plants lose their leaves in the winter, they do not die.

Question

This is evidence that
A.
plants can use heat in the ground to make food.
B.
someone gives the plants food every day.
C.
photosynthesis also takes place in plant roots.
D.
plants store food for later use.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. plants store food for later use.

This suggests that even when leaves are lost in winter and photosynthesis cannot occur, the plants have stored energy from previous photosynthesis to sustain them until they can produce food again in spring.
