Transport in Plants

What is the name of the part of the root that allows water and minerals enter?

• root hairs
• epidermis
• phloem
• phyla

How do water enter the roots from the soil?

• diffusion
• osmosis
• transpiration
• active transport

Transpiration is

• the movement of water through a plant from the roots up the stem
• the loss of water from the leaves of a plant by the process of evaporation
• the flow of water into plant roots by osmosis from the soil
• the process of minerals and sugars moving through plant veins

A leafy shoot was placed in the apparatus shown. The rate of movement of the air bubble was measured.

Which change would make the air bubble move faster?

• blowing dry air over the shoot

• decreasing the air temperature around the shoot

• increasing the humidity around the shoot

• removing some leaves from the shoot
