Direction: Draw the monocot and dicot root section and trace the symplast and apoplast route for the movement of water from the soil to the xylem. Use red ballpen for the symplast route and blue ballpen for the apoplast route. . Trace the mechanism of carbohydrate digestion. Explain the specific organ/s that is responsible for ingestion, digestion, absorption and elimination.

Which of the following processes enables a plant to extract nutrients from the soil? O Nutrient anions (sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, etc) are replaced by Cl on soil particles. Released nutrients become available in the soil water. Anions exchange places with cations during anion exchange, which confuses roots and turns HATS into LATS, after which the endodermis synthesizes a caspian endothelium O Cation exchange facilitates the breaking of covalent bonds between nutrients and soil particles O Protons replace nutrient cations on soil particles
