Epidermis of plant root systems is most responsible for their ability to absorb water and mineral nutrients efficiently.

<h3>How do plants take up nutrients and water?</h3>

The xylem, a tissue made up of tiny tubes found just below the surface of the plant's stems, is where plants collect water and nutrients. The water is drawn upwards by the molecules in this tissue, which draw water molecules from the soil. We refer to this mechanism as capillary action.

Root hairs are single celled and large surface area , perfect for absorption of water and nutrients. Root hairs are long thin, single cell extension from the epidermis.

Andre45 [30]

The statement which best explains why Pepsin will not break down starch is that enzymes only work for specific substrates.

<h3>What is an Enzyme?</h3>

This is referred to as a biological catalyst which helps to speed the rate of chemical reaction in the body by lowering the activation energy needed to start it up. it is also proteinous and can be denatured by heat and other substance such as chemicals.

They are also substrate specific which means they can't act on any type of substance. For example enzyme such as amylase acts on only starch while pepsin acts on only protein.
