It the moment of H2O , minerals and glourcs
Occurs
Adhesion
Cohesion
Root press
Transpiration pull
Adhesion
The attraction of water molecules to other types of substance
Cohesion
The attraction of water molecules to other water molecules
Root pressure
Is caused by the swelling of roots cells
Informed water up the xylem
Result h20 being drawn in by osmosis causing roots cells to swell
Water transport in plants
Begins at the roots
Water is drawn from the roots , up the stem to the leaf ( high to low pressure)
Transpiration pull
Forces H2O up the xylem ( capillary action
Is the result of cohesion
It is the pull caused by water molecules evaporating which pulls adjacent water molecules up
Evaporation of water
Occurs in the stomata
Iscalled transpiration
Turbidity
Allows the plantation hold itself up to the sunlight for photosynthesis
It is caused by water filling the cells and making the cells turgid
