Question

by what process do water and dissolved substances enter roots as the roots obtain water from the soil? transportation photosynthesis osmosis respiration

Explanation:

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.
