Water gets into root hair cells through the process of ____
|
|
diffusion
|
|
|
active transport
|
|
|
osmosis
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In osmosis, water molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. The concentration of the water molecules is lower in the root hair than in the soil. So the water moves into the root hairs through osmosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water enters the root hair cells by osmosis. This happens because soil water has a higher water potential than the cytoplasm of the root hair cell. Minerals enter by active transport .
