Question

how are water and Minerals transported in plants using root pressure strategy?

Answer 1

Answer: Plants use two differentstrategies; transpirational pull and root pressure for the transportation ofwater and minerals during day and night. Root Pressure is the positivepressure created by the movement ofwater from the roots to the soil for upward movement of water.

Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Transpiration is the process by which waterevaporates from the leaves, which results in more water being drawn up from the roots.

Answer 2

Hi mate...

I hope this little answer may Help you...

Plants use two different strategies; transpirational pull and root pressure for the transportation of water and minerals during day and night.

Root Pressure is the positive pressure created by the movement of water from the roots to the soil for upward movement of water. The effect of root pressure in transport of water is more important at night.

Transpiration pull is the pull of water as a result of tension created by transpiration in the aerial parts of the plant. It is the major driving force of water movement upwards in a plant during the day.
