What process do plants use to absorb water?
Generally the pull of transpiration (evaporation of water through the leaves) will pull water in from the roots. Adhesion and cohesion also allow the water to move up the xylem of a plant (through capillary action).
What does water move up to the leaves?
Transpiration pull causes water to travel up the xylem from the roots. If you goole this it will help =]
The root of water is?
root water is water that the roots colectand store and if your quick enough you can pull the plant up and sqeeze water out of it
How does water move through a tree to the top?
Water molecules reach the tips of the roots and are absorbed. The roots absorb both water and nutrients so the water molecules are sucked in through the hairs of the roots. Due to extreme pressure in the roots, this pushes the water skywards. This force allows the water to travel up 3 metres of the 90 metres. But alas, there is still 87 metres left to go. Here pull takes over. The pull is evaporation of water, better known as transpiration if in leaves/ plants. Here, the pull process pulls the molecules up the full height of 90 metres and is used as a suction force.The process which works alongside this "push and pull"action is "capillary action" which works through the xylem of plants. Because the xylem is a tube, water molecules are indefinitely attracted and rise up these walls
How is water transported from the roots to the leaves?
Water, when its in the xylem, is coheisive. They stick together and get sucked up together so they can to the leaves and other parts of the plant.
How do Xylem tubes work?
Xylem tubes are basically dead cells. Transpiration of water out of the stomata of leaves is really how water is drawn up the tubes. The " pull " is exerted from the roots on up by the polar nature of water and its ability to have adhesive effects.
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

Why does water move from roots to the leaves of plants?
becuase the root was mean! nice one:) the real answer is a physical process called evapotranspiration in which the water the evapurates from the leaves creates a pulling force that draws the water from the roots to other parts of the plant

What is the best explanation for the unequal distribution of auxin?
the shoots pull towards the sunlight and against gravity - the roots pull towards gravity and water
What carries nutrients throughout plants?
There is a special tissue inside a plant's stem called xylem that consists of cells that are essentially tiny straws that pull water from the plant's roots up to the leaves. It is mostly dead tissue at maturity. Then there is phloem, which carries sugars created by photosynthesis from the leaves down to the roots. It is alive.
What part of the plant carries water?
Through the stem runs the vascular tissue called xylem, which carries water from the roots to the leaves.
What the purpose of the vascular system in a plant?
The Vascular tissues, (xylem and phloem) transport water, nutrients and starch to various parts of the plant. Xylem tubes are present in the roots, water moves into the roots through osmosis and is pulled to the leaves due to a combination of transpiration pull and capillary action. Phloem tubes bring back starch (photosynthesized product/ simple sugar) and transport it to all parts of the plant body.
