EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -So the water that is absorbed by The Roots reaches the leaves and this is used in the food production using producing the food for the plant by combining it with the carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants absorb water and minerals from the soil via their roots. The root hairs on roots increase the surface area of roots to facilitate absorption of water and minerals that are dissolved in the soil water. The xylem then conducts the absorbed water and minerals from the roots to the shoot system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. Root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. The absorbed water is transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes: It is a reactant used in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transportation: The water in the plant body transports substances in a solution form from one part to another. Food production: Water is utilised for food production along with carbon dioxide from the air in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce glucose and oxygen by the process of photosynthesis.
