6/5/2012Terrestrial plants must obtain both water andmineral nutrients from the soil, usually by wayof their roots. The roots, in turn, obtaincarbohydrates and other important materialsfrom the leaves… We learned in Chapter 8 thatwater is one of the ingredients required forcarbohydrate production by photosynthesis inthe leaves. Water is also essential fortransporting solutes, for cooling the plant, andfor developing the internal pressure thatsupports the plant body. Plants lose largequantities of water to evaporation, and thiswater must be continually replaced.Terrestrial plants must obtain both water andmineral nutrients from the soil, usually by wayof their roots. The roots, in turn obtaincarbohydrates and other materials from theleaves.Plants require water and minerals. Evaporationcauses plants to lose water.Through their roots, plants take in water andminerals. Althought plants loste water throughevaporation, water is important for theproduction of carbohydrates, transportingsolutes, cooling, and internal pressure.“A” is copied word for word from the originaland therefore is not a summary. If you copy likethis on an exam or assignment, you will receivezero points.“B” is too short and leaves out importantinformation.“C” is the best – it captures the overall meaningof the original in less than half the words.3
