Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of transport is used to move water from the soil to the root hair cells in a plant?
A
Active transport
B
Diffusion
C
Osmosis
D
None of the options
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, water moves from the soil to the root hair cells by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of low concentration to high concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis plays a central role in the movement of water between cells and various compartments within plants. In the absence of transpiration, osmotic forces dominate the movement of water into roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water moves into the roots of a plant through osmosis, which is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In the case of plants, water moves from the soil into the roots due to a lower concentration of water inside the roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -The root hairs take water from the soil by a process called osmosis. 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Root hair cells Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. They absorb mineral ions by active transport, against the concentration gradient.
