How do root hair cells of a desert plant differ from tropical rainforest plants?
In desert plants the root hairs are more sensitive for water absorption and can absorb water at times from the moist air present in the porous soil. The root hairs of tropical rain forest plants absorb only capillary water present in the soil.
Do roots respire?
Yes, roots do respire. they need oxygen just like all other parts of plants. they get this oxygen from air spaces in the soil. in some plants like rice which grow in wet soil, the roots have air spaces which allow atmospheric oxygen to be transferred to the root cells.
How does the root breathe?
roots can breathe through air spaces between the soil particals
How does ploughing help in root respiration?
for proper root respiration,farmers plough so that tiny air spaces are created around the soil particles
What process does water enter root hair cells?
BY osmosis i.e the concentration gradient created between the outside and the root hairs cells. Water will flow from a high area of concentration to a low area of concentration across a partially permeable membrane

What anchor plants and absorb water and minerals from the soil?
Although moss does not have a true root system, it does have growths called rhizoids, which are root-like. These growths anchor moss to soil, or other surfaces. Moss draws moisture from the air.
How is nitrogen fixed in the soil?
Bacteria that exist in the root nodules of some plants can absorb nitrogen from the air in the soil. One notable example is the Rhizobia that lives in nodules on soybean roots. Similar root systems exist in clover and alfalfa.
How do the plants root absorb nitrates?
when the nitrogen in air is absorbed in the clouds and rains the nitrogen comes down to the soil with the water. this is absorbed by the roots .
How do roots absorb water?
Absolutely not.It can't.most plants roots are underground. the amount of air in the soil is very minimal,and it is used up by creatures in the ground.So there would not be any air for the root to absorb.Hope this is usefull! :)
What is the function of the prop roots?
the function of the prop root is achor the plant to the ground & absorb water
What do organisms do with the oxygen they absorb from the air?
Organisms use the oxygen they absorb from the air for their cells. The cells need this oxygen in order to carry out their functions.
Does water air and soil absorb radiant energy at the same rate?
No, it does not
Why is there air in the soil?
there is air in soil because it is necessary for root growth and also the animals that live under the soil they need oxygen to survive and it determines the porosity of the soil for water to sink in.
What organ absorbs oxygen from the air?
The respiratory system seems like the obvious answer, but you used the word absorb. The respiratory system takes air into the lungs, but the red blood cells (erythrocytes) absorb the oxygen out of the air taken into the lungs. The circulatory system then delivers these red blood cells to the capillaries where the oxygen is traded for carbon dioxide as the cells need.
How is soil air important?
If there is no air in the soil, the organic matter in the soil will begin to rot. It is called anerobic decomposition. Air in the soil allows for drainage, gives roots a place to grow, and keeps methane from building up by allowing it a ready escape.
Do roots respire?
Yes, roots do respire. they need oxygen just like all other parts of plants. they get this oxygen from air spaces in the soil. in some plants like rice which grow in wet soil, the roots have air spaces which allow atmospheric oxygen to be transferred to the root cells.
