About this document
Transportation in Plants by macleodspharma933 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Plants transport water, nutrients, and other substances through specialized tissues called xylem and phloem. Xylem facilitates the upward movement of water and minerals from roots to leaves via transpiration, while phloem transports sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant through translocation. Water absorption occurs primarily through roots via osmosis and active transport, with various mechanisms like transpiration, root pressure, and diffusion contributing to the overall process.
