Water is pulled from the soil into the plant roots via evaporation of water occurring in the leaf veins. The water and solutes in the water stick together, so where the water goes, the solutes will follow. The pressure from the evaporation pulls the water from the soil into the root hairs, into the xylem of the roots, into the xylem of the stem, into the xylem of the branches, into the xylem of the leaf veins, and out of the stomata. The plant uses only the water it needs, and pulls the solutes from the water.

Minerals cannot be absorbed by osmosis because this is the movement of water only
The root hair cells have carrier molecules on their cell membranes

What are two things a root does for a plant?
The function of the roots of a plant are to get nutrions from the soil and water in the soil and also to give the plant a way to stay in the ground and upright not falling over with a sudden gust of wind. Hope this helped. :)
What are the two jobs of the root system?
To anchor the plant and to absorb water and minerals from the soil
What happens when you grow two of the same plants in two different soils?
If one soil has nutrients that plant will thrive. If the other has no nutrients the plant will shrivel up and die.
Do plants absorb minerals from soil?
roots are adapted to absorb vitamins and minerals by absorbing water through there semi permeable membrane on the roots. this membrane (skin) allows some things to pass through it will bigger things will be stopped
Why is soil the most suitable medium for plant growth?
That's where plants grow naturally, in soil. If the plant is in it's correct habitat then the soil and other conditions will be suitable for that plant to grow.
What two things plant roots take from the soil?
Plant roots absorb minerals and water from the soil.
What are the white things in soil?
soil in the ground: usually maggots Plant soil from store: plant food
What two things do roots do?
Absorb nutrients and support/anchor the plant (in most plants, but not all).
Why two things do plant roots take from the soil?
They take up water and some minerals.
What are the things soil made of?
tree and plant and
What are the things made out of soil?
tree and plant and
Will a plant live with nothing but soil?
NO a plant need a lot of things
Does the kind of soil affect living things?
yes it does affect living things especially the plants because if it is not the appropriate kind of soil for the plant the plant will surely get low amount of nutrients from the soil.
How the plants affect the soil?
because plants use the soil and the plant puts other things in the soil
What 2 things a plant get from the soil?
nutrients and water
What 2 things does a leaf for a plant?
Soil and a lot of sun
What 2 things that a leaf does for a plant?
