the importance of storage to plants?
400379
Not the most specific question, but I'm guessing you're asking about energy storage. Plants use sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water, thus converting light energy to chemical (food) energy and providing the basis for life on earth as we know it.\n\nThe simple glucose molecules are then strung together to make complex carbohydrates, which serve as energy stores for the plant - and eventually, provides energy to anything that eats the plant.\n\nPlants also obviously store water, vitamins, minerals, etc. as do animals. To get a better answer you'd have to define the question better.\n\nPlants should not be stored in closets. Store where there's light. :)

Pardon me if I am incorrect but i dont think that plants NEED more energy rather they HAVE more energy. Each time you move up the food chain, only 10% (?) of the original energy the organism had is retained. The rest is lost. Since plants are at the bottom of the food chaing and are autotrophs, they receive 100% of the energy they converted through photosynthesis. Then the rabbit who eats the plant gets only 10% of that and the fox who eats the rabbit gets only 1%.

this depends on the plant...different plants have VERY different requirements!

Yes, plant cells need mitchondria to survive.

Some water is essential for all plant growth, though necessary amounts vary for individual species. Too little water will cause the plant to wither and die, and too much water will waterlog the roots and rot them, killing the plant.

let me try:\n1)Save Plants to save Life.\n2)Protect plants and animals and protect yourself.

Close because the plant takes in CO2 and so it will prevent any CO2 from leaving the cell because it need them to carry out photosynthesis. Once they have enough, the stomata are closed so that they don't escape.

Optimum plant density depends on cultivar but is usually around 40,000 plants/ha

In an eukaroyotic plant cell the mitochondria is contained in the nucleus. The mitochondria are the "power plants" of the cell. There are three main classes of plant cells: Epidermis, Vascular tissue, and Ground tissue. The second type transports materials through the plant. Since the plant is larger, being a tree, perhaps the longer distance means the cells need more mitochondria to travel that longer distance. In a bush this would not be neccessary. The third type peforms photosynthesis and does starch storage and stuctural support. These types are further broken down into Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma. Since it is a larger plant and more starch needs to be stored, perhaps this explains it. More powerhouses would seems to me to be a benefit in greater starch storage for a larger plant. I did not know there could be more mitochondria in one plant cell than in another. Your statement was the first I'd heard of it.

It's mostly a desert so yeah I would think water and ability to grow anything would be fairly important.\n\nAdmit it.  You want us to help you answer the essay question on your take home exam don't you!!!

The most important feature distinguishing the cells of plants from those of animals is the cell wall. In plants this wall protects the cellular contents and limits cell size. It also has important structural and physiological roles in the life of the plant, being involved in transport, absorption, and secretion.

The relative rigidity of the cell wall renders plants sedentary, unlike animals, whose lack of this type of structure allows their cells more flexibility, which is necessary for locomotion. The plant cell wall serves a variety of functions. Along with protecting the intracellular contents, the structure bestows rigidity to the plant, provides a porous medium for the circulation and distribution of water, minerals, and other nutrients, and houses specialized molecules that regulate growth and protect the plant from disease.(plants do not have an immunity system, and cell wall is a good barrier)

herbarium....do you mean terrarium, a container for herbs?  Any aquarium can easily be converted to a terrarium-herbarium to grow herbs.\n\nBut if you mean another kind of herbarium.....a collection of ID-ed plants pressed and stored on herbarium paper and held in a "botany museum"collection, then read below.\n\nThere is herbarium paper to buy.  Then you collect, store, document and ID plant specimens in a "botanical specimens collection."  Many colleges and universities have huge herbarium collections, some made their collections large by having students go out and collect plant and algae specimens for a classroom assignment. Students must be taught the proper way to collect, press, document and store these specimens. Many start out with a wooden plant press with canvas belts and a frame and herbarium paper  the same size as the plant press with lots of cardboard. Newly collected speciments are placed between newspaper pages and stacked and pressed in the press til dessicated.  It is best to ID plants first, before drying and pressing, but some may not be able to do this til later. Must be real careful when doing all this. Special labels are used to write the pertinent scientific data needed. Labels then put on the herbarium paper.\n\nWhat else do you mean? need?

Same as any other plant really.  Storage, transportation, photosynthesis, absorption, reproduction

Universal.\nPlants are producer organisms converting sunlight and minerals into food that we can eat. They absorb carbon out of the atmosphere, produce oxygen and as importantly pump water from the ground into the air, making more water available as rain and preventing salt from building up in the soil surface (salination). Plants prevent soil erosion through slowing the impact of rain and wind. They provide wood for fuel, building and paper, they provide homes and food for myriads of other animals, and without plants we would be in a sorry state of affairs. Plants beautify the landscape and make us feel better about our surroundings. Plants are good things,
