1》Water and minerals are transported through xylem in plants.
The cells in roots that are in contact with soil activate Li take up ions creating a difference in concentration of Ions between the cell sap of roots and soil water.
Water moves into the roots to eliminate this difference of concentration forming a study movement of water in the root xylem.
This creates a column of water that is steadily pushed upwards.
Loss of water from leaves create a suction that pulls water from the xylem of the roots to aerial parts.
2》 Transportation of food is carried by phloem in plants by utilising energy.
This helps in increasing the Osmotic pressure of the tissue causing water to move into it.
Thus, the generated pressure allows the movement of materials from flowing to the tissue which have less pressure.
Explanation:
Plants, minerals and water are transported through xylem cells from soil to the leaves. The xylem cells of the stem,roots and leaves are interconnected forming a conducting channel reaching all plant parts. The root cells obtain ions from the soil which creates a difference in the concentration of ions between the roots and soil. Thus, there is a continuous water movement into the xylem. osmosis caused osmotic pressure hence water and minerals are transported from one to another cell. Transpiration leads a continuous water loss in addition to a suction pressure which is created due to water that is being forced into the xylem cells of the roots. Thus, it can be said that xylem plays an important role in t transportation of water and minerals once they absorb these and transport them to different plants.
