Plants employ osmosis to move minerals into plant root cells. To transport minerals to the plant proper, energy is required so active transport is employed.

How are minerals absorbed and transported by plants?
Water and minerals are transported within the plant by the Xylem vessels (mainly in an upward direction); these are part of the vascular system which also includes Phloem vessels. Phloem transports the products of photosynthesis within the plant (mainly in a downward direction)
Were minerals once plants and animals?
Minerals were not once plants and animals. This is because life is composed of cells and minerals do not contain cells.
What do plants take in through the roots?
Water and Light
Why is vascular tissue important to plant evolution?
Vascular tissue is important to plant evolution because it allowed for them to grow vertically as the tissue allowed for nutrients to be transported all over the organism. Most of your primitive plants are flat with very simple structures.
Where do plants get minerals from?
ANSWER Actually they get it from the underside of the leaves
How water and minerals transported in plants?
Water and minerals are transported within the plant by the Xylem vessels (mainly in an upward direction); these are part of the vascular system which also includes Phloem vessels. Phloem transports the products of photosynthesis within the plant (mainly in a downward direction)
What material is transported from the leaves to the roots?
minerals
How is water transported to the plants?
They are transported via the xylem tubes

What do vascular tissues in plants do?
There are two types of vascular tissue that aid in transport and there are two substances that are transported. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and phloem transports sugar (sap).
Why would the plant die if the phloem and xylem is removed?
It would die as water and minerals absorbed from the roots cannot be transported to other parts of the plant.Food made by the leaves cannot be transported to other parts of the plants too.So,the leaves and stems do not get the water and minerals absorbed by the roots.The roots and stems also cannot get the food made by the leaves.Hence,the plant will die eventually.
How are materials transported in plants?
Tubes
How do plants acquire and distribute sugars water and minerals?
Plants acquire water and minerals from the soil through their roots. Water is transported through the xylem tissue to the rest of the plant. Sugars are produced during photosynthesis in the leaves and then transported via the phloem tissue to other parts of the plant where they are used for energy or stored.
How are materials transported in vascular plants?
Tubes
Were minerals once plants and animals?
Minerals were not once plants and animals. This is because life is composed of cells and minerals do not contain cells.
What minerals in sunlight help plants to grow?
There are no minerals in sunlight. Plants obtain all their minerals from decomposed organic material in the soil.
Do minerals affect the growth of plants?
Plants require a proper balance of minerals for optimum growth.
