Question
by what process do water and dissolved substances enter roots as the roots obtain water from the soil? transportation photosynthesis osmosis respiration
Osmosis is the process by which water moves from an area of higher water potential (in the soil) to an area of lower water potential (inside the root cells) across a semi - permeable membrane. It also allows some dissolved substances to move with the water flow. Transportation is a more general term for movement within the plant, photosynthesis is the process of making food using light energy, and respiration is the process of releasing energy from food.
