Mengangkut air dan garam mineral untuk menjalankan fotosintesis dan pertumbuhan
2. Water and mineral salts can be transported from soil to leaves or shoots by root pressure,
capillary action and transpirational pull.
4. Guttation is the process of removing water slowly in the form of droplets through
hydatodes at the margin of leaf.
5. Guttation occurs at night where the rate of transpiration is low and the relative air
humidity is high .
6. Root pressure is the main force in guttation.
7. This phenomenon can be observed at the leaf margin of herbaceous plants .
8. If the plants do not undergo transpiration and guttation,
a. water and mineral salts cannot be transported from root to shoot.
b. the rate of photosynthesis is low due to deficiency of water.
c. growth of plant is retarded because lack of mineral salts.
d. cooling effect of plants is low.
4. Types of phytoremediation:
Phytoextraction
Phytostabilisation
Phytostimulation
Phytovalatilisation
Phytodegradation
