How do plants absorb water for 5 marks
Answers
Answer:
Water absorbed by plants depends on its availability in the soil reservoir. Therefore the soil reservoir is studied in relation to its available water capacity, which depends on the field capacity and on the permanent wilting point. Approaches on water availability are presented in function of the soil water potential, derived from the Gibbs free energy concept. It is shown that the water flow through the plant has to be analyzed as a whole, that is, considering the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere System. Mathematical approaches are shown on how to solve differential equations written in the cylindrical coordinate system. Considerations are made about soil water and evapotranspiration, about the least limiting water range, and about the penetrometer used to measure soil resistance to root penetration.
Answer:
Hello there,
Explanation:
Plants absorb water through Xylem vessels. it is present in plants to help in circulation of water from root to tree top. So we can say that Xylem is responsible for transport of water.
Hope it helps!!!
