The higher osmotic potential in the plant cells (root hairs and its surrounding cells) is the cause of entering water in plants from the soil by endo-osmosis. Once the water reaches near xylem it is pulled upward by cohesion force. And thus the continuity of water entring in the root is maintained.

How is osmosis involved in supplying water for photosynthesis in the leaf?
Because osmosis is related to the movement of water molecules.
The end of the root that absorbs minerals and?
Xylem, It transports minerals and water from roots to shoots.
How does water enter leaves?
Water enters the root cells by osmosis and enters into the xylem. The pressure of water entering the xylem creates osmotic pressure, pushing the column of water up through the stem. Water evaporating on the surface of the leaf cells pulls on other molecules and pulls the column of water up the plant and into the leaves.
Does root pressure move water a long distance up the xylem because of the higher water potential of the xylem in comparison to the water potential in the surrounding cells?
No. Root pressure can move water a short distance up the xylem because of the lower water potential of the xylem in comparison to the water potential in the surrounding cells
What is the tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the root to the stem and leaves?
The Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots.

The Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots.
Does mineral salt enters the root cells by diffusion or active transport?
Mineral salt enters the root thru active transport, after it enters, the mineral salt is passed on to another root cell through diffusion to move to the xylem tube then it moves up the tube via transpiration pull
What pressure is help water from soil enters into the root hairs owing to?
water from soil enters in to the root hairs owing to
Which of the following allows plants to be selective about the molecules that enter the xylem?
A waxy barrier in the plant root.The waxy barrier in the plant root prevents molecules that are in the cell walls from entering the xylem directly. To move into the xylem, molecules must first cross a plasma membrane and enter the cytoplasm of a root cell. This allows a plant to be selective about what enters the xylem.
How water gets in to a root hair cells from the soil?
By a tissue xylem
What structure transport water and nutrients from the root to the rest of the plant?
Xylem
What is tissue that carries water and nutrients from the root hairs to the leaves?
xylem
What water-conducting tissue is present in the center of a dicot root?
Xylem
