a. water concentration in root hairs and the soil are equal.
b.water concentration in root hairs and the xylem are equal.
c.water concentration in root hairs is higher than in the soil
d.water concentration in root hairs is lower than in the soil

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The cell sap is hypertonic to the soil therefore an osmotic gradient is formed and the roots therefore intake water

What causes water to enter plant roots from the soil is mainly because the concentration of water in the root hairs is lower than in the soil. The correct option would be D.

  • Water moves from the soil into the root by osmosis.
  • Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from the region of high water potential or concentration to the region of low water potential or concentration.

Hence, water will enters the plant roots from the soil because the water potential in the soil is more than that of the root airs.
