Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having 

a large surface area to increase the rate


of absorption. They also contain lots of mitochondria, which release energy from glucose during respiration in order
to provide the energy needed for active transport.

There are three main variables: independent variable, dependent variable and controlled variables.
Example: a car going down different surfaces. Independent variable: the surface of the slope rug, bubble
wrap and wood. Dependent variable: the time it takes for the car to go down the slope. Controlled
variable: the height of the slope, the car, the unit of time e.g. minutes and the length of the slop

Independent variable Dependent variable Controlled variables What you can decide to change in an
