Answer:
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.
Explanation:
The root hair absorbs water from soil through osmosis and minerals through active transport.
What is root hair?
- "Root hair, or absorbent hairs, are outgrowths of epidermal cells, specialized cells at the tip of a plant root."
What is osmosis?
- The process of movement of solvent from its higher concentration to lower concentration through semi-permeable membrane( only certain molecules can pass ) is called osmosis.
What is active transport?
- "Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient."
Hence, through osmosis root hair absorb water from soil as its concentration is higher in soil than in plant hair cells and minerals concentration is lower in soil than in plant.
