Why does water move inward in the root and upward in the stem?
Water moves inward in the root through a process called osmosis, where it travels from the soil into root cells that have a higher solute concentration. Once inside the plant, water moves upward through the stem via capillary action in the xylem vessels, aided by transpiration, which creates a negative pressure that pulls water upward from the roots to the leaves. This combination of osmotic movement and capillary action ensures efficient water transport throughout the plant.
What part of the stem allows the water to move?
The xylem tissue in the stem allows water to move upward from the roots to the rest of the plant. Xylem consists of specialized cells that form tubes for water transport through capillary action and cohesion.
What is the Scientific term for process of colored water travelling up the stem of a flower?
The scientific term for the process of colored water traveling up the stem of a flower is called capillary action. This is when water moves through small spaces, such as the xylem tubes in the stem, due to cohesion and adhesion forces.
How does water rise from the roots to the very top?
Water is absorbed by the roots through osmosis and moves up through xylem vessels in the stem via capillary action and transpiration pull. As water molecules evaporate from the leaves, they create a negative pressure that pulls more water up through the plant. This process is known as transpiration.
Why do you research stem cells?
because in the stem there are special vessels (xylems) that carry the water and glucose from the roots and leaves of the plant.
What structure in the stem connects the water conducting vessels of the roots and the veins of the leaf?
The Xylem.
What function moves water and dissolved minerals from roots up the stem to the leaves?
The function responsible for moving water and dissolved minerals from roots up the stem to the leaves is capillary action. This process relies on the cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules to move up the plant's vascular tissues.
How do stems transport water to other parts of the plant?
Stems transport water through a system of vessels known as xylem. Water is absorbed by the roots and travels up the stem through xylem vessels due to capillary action and transpiration pull. This process is essential for providing water and nutrients to all parts of the plant.
How does water and mineral salts get from the roots of a plant to its stem?
water and dissolved mineral salts enter the root hairs from the soil.then the water travels up through xylem vessels in the roots,stem,leaves

What the hypothesis for the capillary action?
Capillary action will pull water up the stem to the flower and into the petals.
How do plants take water from ground?
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.
