In which order does water pass through these tissues in a plant?
|
|
mesophyll
|
|
|
root cortex
|
|
|
root cortex
|
|
|
xylem
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -1-Water is passively transported into the roots and then into the xylem. 2-The forces of cohesion and adhesion cause the water molecules to form a column in the xylem. 3-Water moves from the xylem into the mesophyll cells, evaporates from their surfaces and leaves the plant by diffusion through the stomata.
Detailed explanation-2: -Epidermis, Cortex, Root Hair, Xylem, Endodermis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The water first enters the protoxylem and then into the metaxylem. From xylem, the water moves up and reaches the other plant parts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Soil→Root hair→Cortex→Endodermis→Pericycle→Protoxylem→Metaxylem.
