2.53 the uptake of water
Water is absorbed by root hair cells which have a branching pattern
The roots have root hairs which are designed to have a large surface area therefore it is more efficient for water intake
Minerals go into the plant via active transport
Water goes into the plant via Osmosis
Water moves across the cortex of the root to the xylem (through osmosis)
