Transpiration is a key part to the transport system of a plant. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor to the atmosphere through leaves and it works because water diffuseses or evaporates. That means water always moves from wetter to drier even against gravity. Inside a tree, water is pulled from the roots up to the leaves through a network of microscopic tubes called xylem made up of dead cells that have holes at either ends that are joined together to make hollow tubes that water can flow through. Water is sucked up through the xylem. The tension created by transpiration is strong enough to pull water up five hundred feet. The tallest tree is Australia's Eucalyptus Regans, which can grow to be over three hundred feet high. In the leaves, the water evaporates through tiny holes, which open and close to regulate the amount of evaporation.
well, i think that the plants leaves are the ones that absorb all the water and lets it go through the stem, and, that when the plant grows that is because the plant had the water to reach the top. that s my answer on how plants absorb water from the soil and reaches the top.well, i think that the plants leaves are the ones that absorb all the water and lets it go through the stem, and, that when the plant grows that is because the plant had the water to reach the top. that s my answer on how plants absorb water from the soil and reaches the top.i think its from the rootsWater comes from the soil. The roots absorb the water and the water travels through the xylem of a tree to reach the leaves of a tree. The way water keeps going through the xylem and the tree is because water at the leaves is evaporated and more water from the roots goes through the xylem. The water at the bottom of the roots "pushes" the water up and the evaporating of water at the trees is "pulling" the water up
The fumction is to carry water and nutrients to the top of the plant from the roots
Xylem cells carry water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of a plant.
What is the name of the top of a fir tree?
the answer is 5 roots, stem, leaves, fruits and flowers.. the answer is 5 roots, stem, leaves, fruits and flowers..
trees have grain so that the water from the roots can go up to the top of the tree
the roots suck it and gave it to the stem. stem gave it to top
it ges up xylems which are tubes made of tissue that transport water and dissolved minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant
Because the top is only part of the tree. The rest of the tree, like an iceburg, is out of sight under ground. The roots supply the top of the tree with water. The leaves in the top of the tree convert light and water into the energy the tree needs to survive. So the tree tries to live on after the top is cut off, and will if left on it's own to heal (regrow).
Evaporation of water through stoma masteringbiology
No, feeder roots cannot be removed with out killing the tree. If you remove them, it might take as long as 6 months or so to see the death of the tree. Feeder roots are about 2 to 4 inches below the dirt and they grow all the way out to the drip line area of the tree. If you put extra dirt on top of or cut into the feeder roots, you will suficate the tree as the feeder roots bring in water and nutrients from the sole. Also,oxegyn will not be able to get to the roots.
No. The tree will cope fine. If you add six inches of soil onto tree roots you could kill the tree,
The cohesion-tension theory describes how water moves from the roots to the leaf. Osmosis causes water to enter the xylem of roots from the soil. Due to the hydrogen bonding between the water molecules, water forms a string of molecules as it moves to the xylem. Constant transpiration at the top of the leaf pull the water molecules out of the plant. The differences in water potentials and pressures cause this fairly constant movement of water through the plant.

it has a parasitism relationship with the tree.strangler fig seeds germinate at the top of the tree which enables it to get light,water and minerals.as it grows its roots go downwards and around the host tree.its roots strangle the host tree and its canopy shades light from the trees and eventually the tree dies.
is it ok to long exsposed tree roots to be covered p with top soil.
