Most plants absorb water from a wide area of soil using osmosis in their roots. Some plants (a few species of epiphytes) have specialized surface cells that let them absorb water from the air.

Do bryophytes draw up water by osmosis?

Bryophytes are a type of non-vascular plants that draw up water by using osmosis. One of the more well known plants within this group are species of moss.


What features of water allows plants to draw liquid water up from their roots?

hydrogen bonding of the water and water potential gradient between the soil and the roots. the process is driven by transpiration of plants


What role do plants play in the water cycle?

unlike evaporation which is part of the water cycle; plants draw water from below the evaporation zone; water that is tightly held by clay particles is drawn up by the plants in the transpiration stream and diffused into the atmosphere.


What feature or property of water allows plants to draw liquid up from their roots?

Adhesion and cohesion properties of water allow plants to draw liquid up from their roots through capillary action. Water molecules stick to each other (cohesion) and to the walls of the plant's vascular system (adhesion), creating a continuous column of water that can be pulled up through the plant by transpiration (loss of water through leaves).


Which feature allows plants to draw liquid water from their roots?

Osmosis


How does salt affect plants?

too much salt in the water inhibits the plants ability to draw water from the soil and eventually it will die of thirst

How does cohesion explain the mechanism by which plants are able to transport water to the top of their structures?

Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules that allows them to stick together. In plants, this cohesion helps water molecules move up from the roots to the leaves through a process called capillary action. As water evaporates from the leaves, it creates a pull that helps draw more water up through the plant's vascular system. This cohesive force is essential for the efficient transport of water in plants.


Give an example of an organism using capillarity?

Plants use capillarity to draw water from the soil into their roots. As water evaporates from the leaves, it creates a tension that pulls up more water from the roots through capillary action.
