Explain the way how the plants absorb water from soil?
Answers
Answer:
plant absorb water through root
Answer:
Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. They absorb mineral ions by active transport, against the concentration gradient. Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption. They also contain lots of mitochondria, which release energy from glucose during respiration in order to provide the energy needed for active transport.
The absorbed water is transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes:
it is a reactant used in photosynthesis
it supports leaves and shoots by keeping the cells rigid
it cools the leaves by evaporation
it transports dissolved minerals around the plant
