XYLEM VESSELS
LONG, THIN, HOLLOW AND
WATERPROOF
DEAD CELLS

• FOR WATER TO MOVE


FREELY UP THEM
TRANSPIRATION
Water enters root hairs through osmosis

EVAPORATION OF WATER FROM THE LEAVES ALLOWS WATER TO


MOVE UP XYLEM VESSELS…Transpiration is…
The evaporation of the water from leaves to the air
PHLOEM TISSUE
THEY ARE ALIVE
• Mineral ions diffuse into root
hairs by Active Transport
- Movement of the minerals
across partially permeable
membrane up a
concentration gradient (low
to high) requiring a lot of
energy
• Transports food…mostly in
form of sugar
