  2. Absorption of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_of_water

    Active absorption refers to the absorption of water by roots with the help of adenosine triphosphate, generated by the root respiration: as the root cells actively take part in the process, it is called active absorption. According to Jenner, active absorption takes place in low transpiring and well-watered plants, and 4% of total water ...

  3. Root hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_hair

    The function of all root hairs is to collect water and mineral nutrients in the soil to be sent throughout the plant. In roots, most water absorption happens through the root hairs. The length of root hairs allows them to penetrate between soil particles and prevents harmful bacterial organisms from entering the plant through the xylem vessels. [1]

  4. Mineral absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_absorption

    In plants and animals, mineral absorption, also called mineral uptake is the way in which minerals enter the cellular material, typically following the same pathway as water. In plants, the entrance portal for mineral uptake is usually through the roots. Some mineral ions diffuse in-between the cells. In contrast to water, some minerals are ...

  5. Transpiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpiration

    The amount of water lost by a plant also depends on its size and the amount of water absorbed at the roots. Factors that effect root absorption of water include: moisture content of the soil, excessive soil fertility or salt content, poorly developed root systems, and those impacted by pathogenic bacteria and fungi such as pythium or rhizoctonia.

  6. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_tissue

    In stems and roots, the xylem typically lies closer to the interior of the stem with phloem towards the exterior of the stem. In the stems of some Asterales dicots , there may be phloem located inwardly from the xylem as well.

  9. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    For example, if the heights of two lines are found to be h 1 and h 2, c 1 = h 1 / ε 1 and c 2 = h 2 / ε 2. [14] Parameters of the line shape are unknown. The intensity of each component is a function of at least 3 parameters, position, height and half-width. In addition one or both of the line shape function and baseline function may not be ...
