Water is taken up in 3 ways.
1. By capillary action up the narrow vessels in the stem.
2. By cohesion tension- effectively a long chain of water molecules hold together in the vessels as leaf transpiration 'pulls' water into the leaves.
3. To deliver water over the height of 90 feet (the limit of 1 and 2) it is suggested that the air pressure in the sap vessels is reduced giving rise to water ravelling to a greater height.
What else can I help you with?
Do all land plants take in water from the ground?
If I'm correct I would have to say no! not all plants take in water from the ground. There are plaints known as Air plants which absorb th moisture from the air. Does anyone agree?
What plant have breathing root to help them take in air above the ground?
Water plants
Why would a plant die if the underground water was poisoned?
Plants take in water from the ground and therefore any toxins that water contains.
Do roots take place in a plants life cycle?
Yes, they take the water from the ground in order to give nutrients to the plant.
How do plants get there water?
Plants suck water out of the ground through their roots.
What are plants that don't move called?
ground water plants.
What is the name when plants get water form the ground?
The process by which plants absorb water from the ground is called "root uptake" or "absorption." Roots take in water along with essential nutrients from the soil, facilitating the plant's growth and metabolic functions. This process is crucial for maintaining hydration and supporting photosynthesis.
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 two places do plants get there water from during photosynthesis?
ground water and/or rain water
How do land plants get the water they need?
Mostly out of the ground, but some get water from the dew.
How do you grow plants?
put a seed under ground then water
What are required for the process of photosynthesis to take place?
The process of photosynthesis is used by plants and some bacteria. Plants need carbon dioxide( co2), light and water( h2o) During the day plants gather energy The chlorophyll on the plants green leaves catch the sunlight. The roots of the plant take water from the ground. The skin on the leaves breathes in the carbon dioxide.
