Answer:

Root hair cell cytoplasm  // Soil water

Explanation:

Water moves through the xylem vessels in a continuous transpiration stream:

root → stem → leaf

Transpiration produces a tension or ‘pull’ on the water in the xylem vessels by the leaves. Water molecules are cohesive so water is pulled up through the plant.

The transpiration stream has several functions. These include:

transporting mineral ions

providing water to keep cells turgid in order to support the plant

providing water to leaf cells for photosynthesis

keeping the leaves cool by evaporation

Root hair cells

The root hairs are where most water absorption happens. They are long and thin so they can penetrate between soil particles, and they have a large surface area for absorption of water.

Water passes from the soil water to the root hair cell’s cytoplasm by osmosis. This happens because the soil water has a higher water potential than the root hair cell cytoplasm:

Solution Water potential Concentration of dissolved solutes

Soil water High Low

Root hair cell cytoplasm Low High

Osmosis causes water to pass into the root hair cells, through the root cortex and into the xylem vessels

An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes
Sonbull [250]
<span>This is caused by the diffusion of water through a semi permeable membrane. The pressure causes water to move into the cell, leading to bursting of the animal cell. The cell membrane is the part of the cell which regulates what comes into and out of the cell, providing protection also. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
