Adamaged stem would most likely affect what process within a plant? a) movement of food and water between the roots and leaves. b) excretion of oxygen by the mesophyll cells. c) synthesis of auxins in meristematic cells. d) absorption of water by the roots.

A. Movement of food and water between the roots and leaves

Explanation:

My answer is A, because the main functions of the stem are:

My answer is A, because the main functions of the stem are:a.Support for and the elevation of leaves, flowers and fruits. ...

My answer is A, because the main functions of the stem are:a.Support for and the elevation of leaves, flowers and fruits. ...b.Transport of fluids between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem.

My answer is A, because the main functions of the stem are:a.Support for and the elevation of leaves, flowers and fruits. ...b.Transport of fluids between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem.c.Storage of nutrients.

My answer is A, because the main functions of the stem are:a.Support for and the elevation of leaves, flowers and fruits. ...b.Transport of fluids between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem.c.Storage of nutrients.d.Production of new living tissue.

My answer is A, because the main functions of the stem are:a.Support for and the elevation of leaves, flowers and fruits. ...b.Transport of fluids between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem.c.Storage of nutrients.d.Production of new living tissue.Therefore when the stem is damaged movement of food and water won't occur.

That is why I picked A.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
