how are water and mineral transported ìn plants
Answers
Explanation:
1. Transport of Water
Water gets absorbed by the root hair and gets transported inwards by different pathways till it reaches the xylem vessels. This continuous uptake of water creates a root pressure which pushes the water upwards. The pull created due to transpiration of water through the leaves causes the rising of water in the tall trees.
2. Transport of Minerals
Minerals are also absorbed by the roots and transported upwards poet through the xylem along with water.
3. Translocation of Organic Solutes
Organic compounds synthesized during the process of photosynthesis gets transported through the phloem sieve tubes. Such a transport of organic solute is called translocation.
Answer:
from the roots which absorb water and mineral from the soil through osmosis it goes to the xylem and carried to another parts of plants...(by transportation theory...you will study about it in higher class...)
