How does root pressure assist in water uptake?
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.
Benefit of large water uptake in plants?
A Large Mineral Uptake
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.
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
Uptake of nutrients by plants root is what process?
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.
Why respiration rates increase in root hair cells during the uptake of mineral ions?
due to active transport system
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.
Which structure of a root hair cell controls the uptake of nitrate ions into the cell?
I think it is the cell membrane since it is only partially permeable. :)
What is Uptake of large particles?
Uptake of large particles
What are the small hair like things that are on plant roots?
Root hairs - Absorptive unicellular extensions of epidermal cells of a root. These tiny, hair-like structures function as the major site of water and mineral uptake. Root hairs are extremely delicate and subject to desiccation. Root hairs are easily destroyed in transplanting.
Is the immune system in a plant the same thing as the root?
no. the root anchors the plant to the soil and facilitates the uptake of water and nutrient's. the immune system is a disease fighting mechanism found in plants, although not as highly evolved as the one found in animals
Benefit of large water uptake in plants?
A Large Mineral Uptake
