Specialised Roots: Quiz
Answer the following questions based on the results from the graph by selecting the statement you think is correct...
Suberisation of roots reduces P uptake
Yes
No

Yes, suberin is relatively impermeable to solutes thereby restricting uptake by the root.
Well done, you answered correctly. Use the 'next' button to proceed.
No, uptake in the suberized zone is lowest, except at the root tip.
This graph shows the uptake of phosphate for non-mycorrhizal roots. Trace the mouse over the graph for an explanation of the results.
The graph shows the uptake of phosphate for both mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots. Trace the mouse over the graph for an explanation of the results.
