Topic list
Topic 1
Root hairs absorb water mainly by osmosis and mineral salts by diffusion or active transport. Their thin walls and large surface area make absorption efficient.
Topic 2
Xylem carries water and minerals upward, while phloem carries prepared food. Transpiration is water vapour loss from leaves and helps pull water through xylem.
