    CO2 and light
  • On what do the roots and shoots rely on?

    -Roots rely on sugar produced by photosynthesis in the shootsystem
    -shoots rely on water and minerals absorbed by the rootsystem
  • What is the connection between shoot and root system?

    Vascular tissue
  • Where is the apical bud located?

    At the top of the plant, primary growing point
  • Where is the axillary bud located?

    In the upper angle/axil of a leaf
  • Taproot system (dicot):

    A taproot system consists of one main vertical root, that gives rise to lateral roots, or branch roots
  • Fibrous root system (monocot):

    Seedless vascular plants and monocots have a fibrous root system, characterized by thin laternal roots with no main roots.
  • What does the apical bud do?
