How does water enter from the soil to the xylem of the plant through diffussion and osmosis?

Diffusion and osmosis are the same thing, only osmosis is specifying that it is the movement of water that is taking place.
- Diffusion: movement of a substance from a high concentration to a low concentration. This equalizes the concentration of the substance across the membrane.
- Osmosis: the movement of water by diffusion.
- Dialysis: the movement of solutes (dissolved substances) by diffusion.

∙ 6y agothe plant roots move around in the soil and soak up the water. then the water travels through the plant.

How are these requirement obtained by the plant?
The plant's requirements are obtained through biological actions such as photosynthesis and osmosis. A plant can take up water and nutrients from the ground through osmosis.
How does water enter and leave a plant cell?
by its roots
Why osmosis is important to plant cells?
Plant absorbs water from the earth through the process of osmosis. The outermost cells of plants are able to absorb water through their semi-permeable cell membrane. Then this water moves up the Plant through Vascular tissues by diffusion.
What are 2 examples of osmosis?
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
What feature explains why plant cells don't explode as a result of osmosis?
Plant cells don't explode from osmosis because water doesn't just enter, but also leaves the cell by diffusion, which then makes the water concentration equal on both sides of the cell membrane.
What enter a plant by the process called osmosis?
water
How are these requirement obtained by the plant?
The plant's requirements are obtained through biological actions such as photosynthesis and osmosis. A plant can take up water and nutrients from the ground through osmosis.
Through what process does the water enter the stems of the plant?
good question. it travels through its roots and all around to the leaves. like our body with oxygen
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane through what process?
I think it is osmosis.
What will happen to a plant if there is no osmosis?
plants absorb water and nutrients through osmosis. Therefore when there is no osmosis plants cannot survive.
How does water enter and leave a plant cell?
by its roots
How high temperature affects osmosis and why?
Osmosis is the passage of moisture through various plant surfaces so a high temperature will increase the speed of osmosis.
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane. what process is going on?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
Why osmosis is important to plant cells?
Plant absorbs water from the earth through the process of osmosis. The outermost cells of plants are able to absorb water through their semi-permeable cell membrane. Then this water moves up the Plant through Vascular tissues by diffusion.
What is going on when cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane?
Osmosis
Do root hairs allow water to enter the root of a plant by germination?
No, water enters the root hairs by the process of osmosis
What Carry Water through the plant cell?
well at first the roots carry it up to the middle of the plant, then they go into the chloroplast and it stores there/ Osmosis carry water through the plant cells.
