Water moves into the roots
|
|
|
Nutrients move out of the roots
|
|
|
Water moves out of the leaves and into the air

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This makes the salt concentration in its roots greater than that of the surrounding water. What most likely occurs in response to this salt concentration in the roots? Water moves into the roots.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration. When plant cells are placed in such solutions, water will move from inside the plant cell to the outside of the cell, resulting in the shrinking of the cell (the cell is said to be plasmolyzed). This occurs because of osmosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of these is a characteristic of body cells that require large amounts of energy? They have a large number of mitochondria.
