The leaves also grow spirally so that every thirteenth leaf is directly above the first allowing an increased sunlight increase. * Roots: Pineapples have auxiliary roots that form on the leaf axis of the plant. This allows for direct water and nutrients absorption by the plant. * Photosynthesis: The Plant goes through a

    Roots support photosynthesis and respiration by absorbing minerals and water and by storing organic nutrients. They also anchor the plant. Some roots have mycorrhizae, which increase the surface area and therefore increase the absorption. The endodermis, which is the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex, surrounds the vascular cylinder. It is the passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular tissue.…

    If the leaf disks were boiled then the expected result would be for all of the leaf disks to sink. This is because photosynthesis would not be able to occur since the proteins would have been denatured and no longer functional. There would also no longer any space for gas to enter in the first place since the protein composition would be all messed up. 8. Light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis because light is the one of the limiting factors in photosynthesis.…
