Root pressure | Rate of transpiration | |
1. | High | Low |
2. | Low | High |
3. | Low | Low |
4. | High | High |
1. | Diffusion |
2. | Facilitated diffusion |
3. | Active transport |
4. | Secondary active co-transport |
1. | It creates transpiration pull for absorption and transport in plants. |
2. | It supplies water for photosynthesis. |
3. | It warms leaf surfaces to activate enzymes for carbon fixation. |
4. | It maintains the shape and structure of the plants by keeping cells turgid. |
