Question

Explain the role of active transport by endodermal cells for the movement of water.

Accepted Answer

Endodermal cell active transport:They move mineral ions into xylem by active transportThis means xylem cells water potential is lower than endodermal cell water potentialWater mols follow minerals by osmosis creating higher hydrostatic pressure in root xylemThis push - root pressure that contributes to mass flow of water thru plant
