Question

Water enter the root cell through a___plasma membrane.

Answer 1

Answer:

Water moves into the root hair cells by osmosis because it is moving down a water potential gradient, since a root cell has a relatively low water potential due to its inorganic ions and organic substances. Water enters through the membrane and into the cytoplasm and vacuole.
