How is root hair well adapted?
1.Osmosis is very important in root hair cells. Providing that the soil is moist, it is possible for water to enter the root hair by osmosis. (See the Osmosis Page if you have forgotten about this.) 2.Water passes from a region of high water concentration (wet soil) through a semi-permeable membrane (the cell membrane) to a region of lower water concentration (the cytoplasm). This makes the cell turgid. 3.As these cells develop they absorb water by osmosis and the hair can be pushed between soil particles. 4.The most important thing to remember about root hairs is that they increase the surface area between the root and the soil: this is necessary for the absorption of water and mineral salts. All the best to you ! :D Hope this helped
What is the job of root hairs?
Root hair cell are dermal cells found on the roots of many vascular plants.Their job is to provide a greater surface area for water absorption.As transpiration pulls water up to the leaves, root hair cells have to absorb large amounts of water. The process by which root dermal cells take in water is osmosis. In order to diffuse large amounts of water, a cell obviously needs a large surface area. The root hair cells provide this needed extra surface area to absorb large amounts of water.

Where is water absorbed in plants?
water is absorbed through the roots of the plants. they need it to process theyre own food
How do plants get water through vascular tissue?
Xylem transports water up to the leaves.Water:Is absorbed from the soil through root hair cellsIs transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.Evaporates from the leaves (transpiration)But the phloem transports nutrients to the leaves. Stop asking the same question guys =.=
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane through what process?
Cells in a plant root absorb water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane. This allows the plant to take up water from the soil and transport it throughout the root system for various functions.
How does the process of osmosis explain how water moves from the soil into the root?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. In the case of plants, water moves from the soil into the root through osmosis because the root cells have a higher concentration of solutes than the surrounding soil. This creates a concentration gradient that drives the movement of water into the root.
What is going on when cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane?
Osmosis
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane. what process is going on?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
How is osmosis involved in the absorption of water and nutrient?
The root hairs absorb water and materials through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is accomplished when there is a greater concentration on one side of a selectively permeable membrane than on the other. The water and nutrients then flow into the area of lower concentration within the root.
How do moss drink?
Moss gets its water primarily through its root system using Osmosis
How does water get in to plants?
Through osmosis in the root hairs or from cell surface in submerged aquatic plants.
How do plants get water to sustain them?
In most of the cases through endo-osmosis by root hairs; in Orchids through velamen cells.
Describe the movement of water and mineral salts into the root hair cell?
Water and mineral salts enter the root hair cell through osmosis and active transport. Osmosis allows water to pass through the cell membrane from an area of higher water potential to lower water potential. Active transport uses energy to move mineral salts against their concentration gradient into the cell.
How is osmosis involved in supplying water for photosynthesis in the leaf?
Because osmosis is related to the movement of water molecules.
What allows water to flow into roots of plants?
Water flows into plant roots through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a semi-permeable membrane, such as the cell walls of root cells. This allows plants to absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil for growth and development.
