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.

Which property of water allows plants to draw water from the ground up through their roots and stem?
hydrogen bonding of the water and water potential gradient between the soil and the roots. the process is driven by transpiration of plants
What direction does the xylem transport water?
The flow is from the roots to the plant so the flow goes up.
What drives the process of transpiration?
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of plants including leaves, stems, and flowers. The mass flow of water from the roots to the leaves is driven partially by capillary action; however, it is primarily driven by water potential differences. Tall plants are also able to overcome gravity by decreasing the hydrostatic water pressure via the diffusion of water out of the stomata.
How does water flow up a plant?
Water flows through a plant with the xylem when it collects water and the nutrients in a plant.
What is the direction of flow of water in xylem and food in phloem?
Water goes up from the roots and the food goes to all parts of the plant.
What allows water to flow to the roots of plants?
osmosis
What allows water to flow into the roots of a plant?
osmosis
How did the sumurains water their crops?
they used leeves and when ever they needed to water their crops they would open it and let water flow in the roots of the plants

What happens to plants during the day photosynthesis?
Water and nutrients flow upward from the roots to the leaves, where the cells convert those nutrients into simple sugars using sunlight. The sugars flow down to the roots for storage.
What direction does the xylem transport water?
The flow is from the roots to the plant so the flow goes up.
How does water flows?
particles are further apart and allows water to flow
Minerals from the soil move into roots by?
Plants actually have special roots that can collect water molecules and along with these molecules there are minerals that flow into the plant. The way it collects water is through these small holes that water can flow through and there it has veins that the water can easily travel through separating into different sections of the plant.
What theory explains how water is moved from roots to leaves?
Cohesion tension is the theory that explains how water is moved from roots to leaves.
What does waterway mean?
It means a route that allows water to flow.
What two forces drive the flow of water from the roots to the leaves?
transpiration and ascent of sap
How do leaf cells obtain their water supply?
the roots make the water flow up from the ground through the xylem.
