Water Root Hair Moves Soil Low Potential Explain

Front Explain why water moves from the soil into root hair cells.
Back Movement of water into root hair cells:
  • Soil water has low conc of dissolved minerals - high water potential
  • Cytoplasm and vacuolar sap of root hair cell has many solutes - low water potential
  • Water moves into root hair cells by osmosis
