Question

1. plant root cells

. root hair cells absorb best.
. more surface area = better absorption.

review questions:
. which root cells absorb water best?
. why does surface area matter in roots?

Explanation:

Root hair cells have a large surface - area - to - volume ratio which enhances their ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. A larger surface area provides more contact with the soil solution, enabling more efficient absorption.

Answer:

1. Root hair cells absorb water best.
2. Surface area matters in roots because a larger surface area allows for more efficient absorption of water and nutrients from the soil due to increased contact with the soil solution.
