Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How does water travel from the soil into the root hair cells?
A
Diffusion
B
Active transport
C
Osmosis
D
Transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The soil is at a lower concentration than the root hair cells. 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: -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-3: -Explanation: Water enters the root hairs by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which the molecules of a solvent, such as water, move from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the amount of water is much higher in the soil than inside of the cell, allowing the water to enter the root hair cell through the process of osmosis.
