Transpiration. It's a bit like upthrust but for water traveling up through plants. The insides of the plant closes up so it can travel.

What is root uptake?
wiener;3 haha ^ omg really? ^
What allows water to flow into roots of plants?
Water evaporates from the leaves of plants, a process known as transpiration. This prompts the plant to uptake water through its root system through osmosis.
The rise of water in a tall plant depends on root pressure and?
the answer is a osmosis
What is a lateral roots?
Lateral roots are predominantly to add support to the plant, normally tall trees will have strong lateral roots (combined with a tap root system) in order to make sure the plant is not blown over. Obviously lateral roots still perform the function of normal roots in the uptake of water and nutrient's.
How are root hair cells specialised?
it is layered and it grows, it helps the hair cell when providing a greater surface area for water absorption
Why does the root need root hairs for the uptake of water and mineral?
because absorption of water takes place by root hairs in the root
Why does the root need hairs for the uptake of water and minerals?
because absorption of water takes place by root hairs in the root
Why does the root need root hairs for the uptake of water and minerals?
Because it increases the surface area of which the roots can absorb water allowing it to absorb more water than it can with root hairs.
What is the function of plant root cells?
Cells found in the roots of the plant assist in the uptake and absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. There are a number of different types of cells (tissues) involved in this process and not just a single cell type.
Why does overcrowding affect the uptake of water by a plant?
Overcrowded plants have to compete with neighboring root systems for water as well as nutrients.
How does transpiration differ from root pressure?
Root pressure tries to keep the water flowing but transpiration loses water from the leaves
Uptake of nutrients by plants root is what process?
absorption

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
What hair takes takes up water in a plant?
The roots of a plant are responsible for taking up water from the soil. Specifically, the tiny, hair-like structures called root hairs are the main site of water absorption. Root hairs increase the surface area of the roots, allowing for more efficient water uptake.
Do roots take in the water needed by the plants and also mineral salts?
Yes roots roots do both,root hairs absorb minerals dissolved in water .Water uptake from the soil by root cells is passive, and also follows osmotic gradients caused by the mineral nutrients
