Water is transported through the plant in Xylem vessels, these begin in the roots and end in the leaves of the plant; water is translocated through a combination of "transpirational pull" and capillary action.

Xylem is one of two "conductive" tissues responsible for moving water and the products of photosynthesis (glucose) through the plant, the tissue responsible for moving the "food" around is Phloem.

What is the main job of the plant transport system?

take water and minerals from roots to the leaves and take food substances from leaf to rest of the plant. and if its a non-photosynthetic plant then food from its environment/special organ to rest of the plant.


When and where does the electron transport take place?

The location of the electron transport system depends on the cell type.~The electron transport system is embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria for animal, plant and fungus cells.~The electron transport system is also in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in plant cells.


Where does phorosynthesis take place?

In the chloroplasts or chlorophyll of the cells of a plant. Where Glycolosis, the Kregs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain break down Carbon Dioxide, Water, and energy from the Sun, into Oxygen and Glucose sugars.


Which part of the leaf enables transpiration to take place?

Transpiration takes place through small openings on the underside of leaves called stomata. These stomata allow water vapor to exit the leaf, helping to regulate the plant's temperature and transport nutrients.


What happen when tranpiration do not take place?

When transpiration does not take place, plants are not able to release excess water through their leaves. This can lead to an accumulation of water in the plant, potentially causing wilting, root damage, and even death. Additionally, transpiration plays a key role in plant cooling and nutrient uptake, so the lack of transpiration can disrupt these processes as well.

Where does glycolysis take place in plant cells?

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol (fluid part of cytoplasm) in plant cells.


Do roots take place in a plants life cycle?

Yes, they take the water from the ground in order to give nutrients to the plant.


Do roots take in water from the ground?

Yes. Roots takes in mineral salts and water from the ground and transport to other parts of the plant by a "tube" called the xylem(it is also a tissue)
