How is root hair well adapted?
1.Osmosis is very important in root hair cells. Providing that the soil is moist, it is possible for water to enter the root hair by osmosis. (See the Osmosis Page if you have forgotten about this.) 2.Water passes from a region of high water concentration (wet soil) through a semi-permeable membrane (the cell membrane) to a region of lower water concentration (the cytoplasm). This makes the cell turgid. 3.As these cells develop they absorb water by osmosis and the hair can be pushed between soil particles. 4.The most important thing to remember about root hairs is that they increase the surface area between the root and the soil: this is necessary for the absorption of water and mineral salts. All the best to you ! :D Hope this helped
What is the job of root hairs?
Root hair cell are dermal cells found on the roots of many vascular plants.Their job is to provide a greater surface area for water absorption.As transpiration pulls water up to the leaves, root hair cells have to absorb large amounts of water. The process by which root dermal cells take in water is osmosis. In order to diffuse large amounts of water, a cell obviously needs a large surface area. The root hair cells provide this needed extra surface area to absorb large amounts of water.
Where is water absorbed in plants?
water is absorbed through the roots of the plants. they need it to process theyre own food

How do plants get water through vascular tissue?
Xylem transports water up to the leaves.Water:Is absorbed from the soil through root hair cellsIs transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.Evaporates from the leaves (transpiration)But the phloem transports nutrients to the leaves. Stop asking the same question guys =.=
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane through what process?
I think it is osmosis.
What is going on when cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane?
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)
What is osmotic?
The root word in osmotic is osmosis. Osmosis is the act of water or fluid passing through a thin membrane. Osmotic is when fluid, like water absorbs through a membrane into a liquid solution.
How are osmosis and diffusion related?
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.
How is osmosis involved in the absorption of water and nutrient?
The root hairs absorb water and materials through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is accomplished when there is a greater concentration on one side of a selectively permeable membrane than on the other. The water and nutrients then flow into the area of lower concentration within the root.
How does water get in to plants?
Through osmosis in the root hairs or from cell surface in submerged aquatic plants.
How do moss drink?
Moss gets its water primarily through its root system using Osmosis
How do plants get water to sustain them?
In most of the cases through endo-osmosis by root hairs; in Orchids through velamen cells.
How is osmosis involved in supplying water for photosynthesis in the leaf?
Because osmosis is related to the movement of water molecules.
What process is going on when cells in a plant root drink in water through the cell membrane?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
What allows water to flow into roots of plants?
Water evaporates from the leaves of plants, a process known as transpiration. This prompts the plant to uptake water through its root system through osmosis.
