How is osmosis involved in supplying water for photosynthesis in the leaf?

Because osmosis is related to the movement of water molecules.


Do root hairs allow water to enter the root of a plant by germination?

No, water enters the root hairs by the process of osmosis


Why and how does the water enters continuosly in root xylem?

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.


Why does water move from the soil into the root hair cell?

osmosis


Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane through what process?

I think it is osmosis.


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.


The rise of water in a tall plant depends on root pressure and?

the answer is a 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 is a root hair cell good at its job?

Root hair cells are used in osmosis to transmit water and nutrients from the soil. These root hair cells reduce the loss of water and adapt to the large surface area and speeds up osmosis process.


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)


Describe the movement of water and mineral salts into the root hair cell?

Osmosis.


What is the name of the process by which water moves into the root hairs?

Its not really by a process of osmosis. It is more by active transport. And the different concetration gradient in the soil and in the roots.
