Answers
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some microorganisms make substances like carbohydrates. It is an endothermic (takes in heat) chemical process that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into sugars. ... Green plants build themselves using photosynthesis. Algae, protists and some bacteria also use it.
Stem Tendril
In botany, a tendril is a specialized stem, leaves or petiole with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support, attachment and cellular invasion by parasitic plants, generally by twining around suitable hosts found by touch. They do not have a lamina or blade, but they can photosynthesize.
Climbing roots
Climbing roots are the adventitious roots that arise from the nodes or internodes in plants having weak stems. These roots help the plants in climbing by penetrating the cracks of the support, as in Pothos (money plant) or they may stick firmly to support by secreting a cementing gummy substance, as in Ficus pumila.
Pollination
Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. ... Seeds can only be produced when pollen is transferred between flowers of the same species.
Make me brain list ☺️
Answer:
a) Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. ... Seeds can only be produced when pollen is transferred between flowers of the same species.
b) In botany, a tendril is a specialized stem, leaves or petiole with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support, attachment and cellular invasion by parasitic plants, generally by twining around suitable hosts found by touch.

d) Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some microorganisms make substances like carbohydrates. It is an endothermic (takes in heat) chemical process that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into sugars. ... Photosynthesis is vital for life on Earth. Green plants build themselves using photosynthesis.
