MAHARASHTRA Class 9 - Transportation in Plants Videos

The basis of all plant processes lies in the roots because the nutrients and minerals dissolved in water are first absorbed by the roots and then transported to different plant parts.

In small plants, since the distance between the roots and the leaves is short, transport of materials occurs by simple diffusion.

Transpiration facilitates the upward rise of water from the roots to the leaves.

At night when transpiration slows down, the root pressure mechanism helps to push water upwards in the plant.
