Which property of water allows plants to draw water from the ground up through their roots and stem?

hydrogen bonding of the water and water potential gradient between the soil and the roots. the process is driven by transpiration of plants

∙ 14y agoThe property of water that allows plants to draw water from the ground up through their roots and stem is called water potential. Water flows from a positive potential to a more negative potential (the atmosphere has the most negative potential, followed by the stem and roots, and the soil has the most positive water potential). Also, cohesion and adhesion also allows the water to flow up the plant (Tension-Cohesion-mechanism),

There is a long answer too, but it is graduate level.

∙ 7y agoWater has a comparatively high surface tension - which helps plants to draw liquid water up from the roots.

Groundwater moves from the ground through plants and then back into the atmosphere through the process of?

How does the sun effect the plants?
it allows it to attain food through photosynthesis
What allows water to flow into roots of plants?
Water evaporates from the leaves of plants, a process known as transpiration. This prompts the plant to uptake water through its root system through osmosis.
Why can most vascular plants grow much taller then nonvascular plants?
Non vascular plants have no internal "circulatory system" or any means of moving liquid and nutrients around their body. Therefore they need to grow low to the ground and in a moist environment in order to get their nutrients through osmosis through the ground. Vascular plants are able to get their nutrients delivered through the body through veins, allowing them to grow taller.
Which characteristics help enable plants to survive on land?
An adaptation plants have to survive on land is their vascular tissue. This allows them to absorb food, water, and nutrients through their roots. Photosynthesis also allows them to receive energy via natural sunlight.
What property of water allows it to move up plants?
hydrogen bonding
What property of water allows water to move up to plants?
hydrogen bonding
How do plants get there water?
Plants suck water out of the ground through their roots.

How plants drinks?
Most plants "drink" by absorbing water from the ground through their roots by capillary action.
What are the three types of tissue in plants?
ground tissue (synthesizes organic compounds, supports plant, provides storage)dermal tissue (covers and protects plant)vascular tissue (allows water and nutrients to be transported through the plant)
What is capillary action. Why is capillary action extremely important for plants?
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
Why must nonvascular plants grow close to the ground?
Non-vascular plants have to stay close to the ground because they have to get their water supply through osmosis. They absorb the water from the damp ground they grow on.
What would happen if animals were rooted to the ground as plants?
Thy cant eat through their butts like plants do
What is the energy source that allows photosynthesist to take place?
Energy from the sun is what allows plants to make their own energy through photosynthesis.
How does the sun effect the plants?
it allows it to attain food through photosynthesis
Do plants release oxygen into the ground through their roots?
No, a plant releases oxygen into the air.
