Question

Explain how, Water and minerals are transported to the leaves of a plant to be used in food making by photosynthesis​

Answer 1

Hey mate.

Here's your explanation.

The water and minerals is transported by xylem in the plants. the process of transpiration also plays a major role in the tranportation of water and mineral.

Xylem vessels and tracheids of the roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels reaching all parts of the plant.

At the roots, cells in contact

with the soil actively take up ions. This creates a difference in the concentration of these ions between the root and the soil. Water, therefore, moves into the root from the soil to eliminate this difference. There is steady movement of water into root xylem, creating a column of water that is steadily pushed upwards.
