water uptake in the roots
- · Branches increase the surface area. It also absorbs water.
- · There are root hairs at the end of each root. You have to use microspores to see them. These roots are epidermis cell.
- · Root hair creates the surface area for absorption
- · Involves active transport of mineral + encourage plants to take up water by osmosis/ water moves from dilute to concentrated solution
- · Dilute is a soil of water surrounded the roots + concentrated creates to built up mineral in the cells
- · Water then moves in the plants to the xylem by osmosis.
Here is an example of a root structure:
active transport create the gradient for osmosis. Dilute in the soil and concentrated in the root.
