A
Aquatic plants rely solely on wind for pollination.
B
Aquatic plants do not perform photosynthesis.
C
Aquatic plants have thick, waxy cuticles to prevent water loss.
D
Aquatic plants have specialized structures to absorb nutrients directly from water.
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by analyzing the characteristics of aquatic plants. Aquatic plants are adapted to living in water environments, which influences their structure and function.
Consider the role of pollination in aquatic plants. While some aquatic plants may use wind for pollination, many rely on water or other mechanisms, so the statement about relying solely on wind is not true.
Evaluate the photosynthesis process in aquatic plants. Like terrestrial plants, aquatic plants perform photosynthesis to produce energy, so the statement that they do not perform photosynthesis is false.
Examine the need for a thick, waxy cuticle in aquatic plants. Since they are surrounded by water, aquatic plants do not need a thick, waxy cuticle to prevent water loss, making this statement incorrect.
Understand the nutrient absorption in aquatic plants. Aquatic plants often have specialized structures, such as thin leaves and roots, to absorb nutrients directly from the water, making this the true statement.
