Question

write the name of the three processes by which plants absorb water and minerals from the soil.

Answer 1

One of the process is Osmosis... as the tranportation of water takes place...

Hope it helps u frnd...

Answer 2

The three processes associated with the absorption of water in plants are:  

1. Osmosis (endosmosis)

2. Root pressure

3. Transpiration pull

• Osmosis is the process of movement of water or solvent molecules from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.  
• In this case, as the water moves inside the cells through single-celled root hairs, it is called endosmosis. This is followed by root pressure where there is a transverse movement of water from the vascular bundle to the leaves.  
• Active absorption takes place in tall trees due to transpiration pull of the water column where there is a constant loss of water vapour creating a vacuum to rise the demand of “water absorption” through ‘roots’.
