Question

Describe 4 ways that the root hairs of root hair cells are adapted as exchange surfaces,

Accepted Answer

Root hairs adaptations:Microscopic size - penetrate easily between soil particlesLarge SA:V ratio, lots of them on each root tipThin surface layer - short diffusion distancesConc of solutes in cytoplasm maintains water potential gradient between soil water and the cell
