Plants employ osmosis to move minerals into plant root cells. To transport minerals to the plant proper, energy is required so active transport is employed.
Water and minerals are transported within the plant by the Xylem vessels (mainly in an upward direction); these are part of the vascular system which also includes Phloem vessels. Phloem transports the products of photosynthesis within the plant (mainly in a downward direction)
No, minerals are inorganic substances that form naturally in the Earth's crust, while plants and animals are living organisms composed of organic matter. Minerals are not derived from plants and animals.
The way a plant absorbs minerals and water taken in by a plant is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis includes water, oxygen, starch, and certain minerals, as well as the sun. This is why plants are green. because plants are producers, and don't rely on other living or dead organisms for their own source of potential and kinetic energy, photosynthesis is an excellent way for plants to absorb water and minerals.
Water and minerals enter the plant through its roots. Water is absorbed by the root hairs and transported through the plant to the leaves, where it plays a vital role in photosynthesis. Minerals are also absorbed by the roots and transported throughout the plant to support various cellular functions.
Plants absorb nutrients through their roots from the soil. These nutrients are then transported within the plant through specialized tissues called xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem distributes sugars produced by photosynthesis to different parts of the plant.
Water and minerals are transported from the roots to the leaves through the xylem tissue in plants. This process is called transpiration and helps provide essential nutrients and support for the plant's growth and development.

Plants absorb water and minerals through their roots via osmosis. The minerals are then transported through the xylem vessels in the plant to the leaves. Transpiration, the process of water evaporating from the leaves, creates a pull that helps to move the minerals up to the tips of the leaves.

Roots of plants absorb water and minerals from the soil through a process called osmosis. This allows plants to take up essential nutrients needed for growth and function. Water and minerals are then transported through the plant's vascular system to different parts of the plant.
Plants absorb minerals through their roots. The process involves both active transport, which requires energy, and passive transport, which occurs through diffusion. The minerals are then transported within the plant through vascular tissues like xylem and phloem.

They are transported via the xylem tubes

There are two types of vascular tissue that aid in transport and there are two substances that are transported. Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals and phloem transports sugar (sap).
It would die as water and minerals absorbed from the roots cannot be transported to other parts of the plant.Food made by the leaves cannot be transported to other parts of the plants too.So,the leaves and stems do not get the water and minerals absorbed by the roots.The roots and stems also cannot get the food made by the leaves.Hence,the plant will die eventually.
In vascular plants they use xylem and phloem to transport water and nutrients from the root system and the leaves. Water, being polar, is moved along by magnetism. Other nutrients move with their concentration gra dient.
