A simplified model shows: Model:
  • Arrow labeled carbon dioxide (matter) from air → leaf
  • Arrow labeled water (matter) from soil → roots
  • Arrow labeled sunlight (energy) from Sun → leaf
  • Inside plant: sugars → plant body parts
A student says: "Plants get almost all their mass from soil because that is where their roots are." Which statement best evaluates this claim using evidence from the model?
