Plants have special structures for obtaining water and nutrients, distributing them to all tissues, and using these materials to efficiently produce food. Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Water and nutrients are distributed through the plant in vascular structures. Photosynthesis is a chemical process that convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. D. Large amounts of moisture can be lost to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
Special adaptations can reduce the loss in dry environments.
Plants have special adaptations that allow them to reproduce successfully. Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants. Seeds are embryonic plants. Flowers, fruits, and seeds have special adaptations for successful reproduction in different environment. People can choose to maintain a healthy environment for native plant populations.
