Chapter 36.2, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To compare: The three water transport routes through plants.
Introduction: The transport functions of plants are carried out by the specialised structures called as vascular tissue. It consists of two cells namely xylem and phloem. The xylem involved in the transport of water and the phloem involved in the transport of minerals. The water along with the minerals are absorbed by the root hairs present in the root system.

Make a simple HAND DRAWN sketch or flow diagram toillustrate the flow path of water through a plant, from the point of uptake from the soil totranspiration from the leaves. Ensure that you incorporate the following aspects in your sketch / diagram:• Water movement from the soil into the root, to the vascular tissues and the rest of theplant and into the atmosphere.• Label all the organs, tissues and structures involved in water uptake and transport.• Mention the mode of water movement (e.g. diffusion, osmosis, mass flow) whereapplicable along the symplastic and apoplastic pathways of water uptake and transport
