What is the main function of veins in a leaf?
a) photosynthesis
b) transpiration
c) transport of substances

Answer;

Transport of substances

Explanation;

-Veins have vascular tissues, that is the xylem and the phloem. Xylem tissue transports water and mineral salts to the leaf, while phloem transports manufactured food from the leaf to other parts of the plant.

-Leaves need water for photosynthesis and the water is transported from roots to leaves through xylem.

-Veins are spread all over the leaves ,so they can easily transport water to all the cells of leaves.

-After the completion of photosynthesis in a chloroplasts, glucose is formed which may be used for cellular respiration or stored in form of starch. Phloem transports the glucose to other parts of the plant for cellular respiration;

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
