How does transpiration help in transport of water and minerals in plants?

As we know, transpiration means the evaporation of water vapour from the leaves etc.
As the water evaporates, there is a decrease in pressure in the plant which in turn helps the root to absorb water and as the water transpires the water in the root is sucked upward by pressure and hence is transported to each and every part of plant. As the minerals are dissolved in the water (in small quantities) they are also transported through the same medium. this saves energy for the plant.

What is the process in which water evaporates from the leaves and plants?
Transpiration
What is the process called when plants release water from their leaves?
transpiration
How much percentage water used through transpiration?
about 90% of the water which is taken in by the plant is used for transpiration.
What molecules represent transpiration?
Water (H2O). Transpiration is like the plant form of sweating.
Does plants absorb phosphate from the soil or from water?
The plants absorb minerals from the soil, since it is wet. When the soil is dry, there is no way for plants to absorb anything. That's what rain do, by making the soil wet, so that plants can absorb minerals through their roots.
Why is transpiration necessary?
Mainly in cooling of plants. Also aid in water transport by transpiration pull.
What is xylem vessel?
xylem vessel is a vessel in plants that transport water and minerals from the roots to parts of the plant where it is needed, through transpiration and turgor pressure in roots.
What is Mesophiles?
A cell which help in the transport of water and stomatal transpiration in plants
What is mesophill cell?
A cell which help in the transport of water and stomatal transpiration in plants
What is the loss of water from plants called?
Transpiration is water loss from plants.
What is the best explanation for the process of transpiration in plants?
It is the evaporation of water from leaf stomata, which helps in xylem transport
Does transpiration occur in plants?
So the rest of the plant can get water,food,and minerals so the plant will stay healthy.
What is it called when plants lose water through its leaves?
transpiration
What transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to leaves?
The xylem carries the water and minerals up around to the leaves of plant from the roots and the phloem carries it to the rest of the plant
What do you mean by transportation of water and minerals in plants?
to transport food and water through phloem and xylem.
What do you mean by transpiration with respect to transport in plants?
Water leaving the plant's leaves creates a pressure gradient whereby it sucks in water from the ground.
Do roots supply plants with water and minerals?
The minerals taken up by plants are not solid lumps they are dissolved in water, which is taken into the plant by its root system.
