Answers
Answer:
a. Osmosis causes osmotic pressure hence water and minerals are transported from one to another cell. Transpiration leads to 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.
b. Natural sources of carbon dioxide include most animals, which exhale carbon dioxide as a waste product. Human activities that lead to carbon dioxide emissions come primarily from energy production, including burning coal, oil, or natural gas.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. Water and Minerals -
water and mineral are absorbed by the roots from the soil and then transported up to the leaves through the xylem.
b. Carbon dioxide -
It is absorbed by the stomatal pores present in the leaves of the plant.
