, 7 TRANSPORT IN
PLANTS
Flowering plants do not have compact bodies like those of animals. Leaves
root systems spread out to obtain the light energy, water, mineral ions and
that plants gain from their environment to make organic molecules, such as
amino acids. Transport systems in plants move substances from where they
or produced to where they are stored or used. Plants do not have systems f
oxygen and carbon dioxide; instead these gases diffuse through air spaces
roots and leaves.
Candidates will be expected to use the knowledge gained in this section to
in familiar and unfamiliar contexts.
