Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The structures that help a plant to maintain water homeostasis.
Concept introduction:
All organisms need water to survive as most of the biological activities are carried out in the presence of water. It forms a medium for most of the biological reactions to occur. In humans majority of the human body (about

Students have asked these similar questions
Describe the pathway water would follow from the soil to the stem of a plant. Describe the water's movement through the cells, tissues, and systems of the plant body.
Select the correct answer regarding cation exchange and plant mineral nutrition
cation exchange is necessary because negatively charged ions are stuck to inorganic particles of soil
cations are likely to leech out of the soil if there are drainage problems or flooding
hydrogen ions freely diffuse out of plant roots into soil
cation exchange works because plants substitute a strongly charged cation (H+) for required minerals
waste products from cellular respiration provide an energetically free (no ATP needed) mechanism to exchange cations
Briefly explain how water moves through a plant. Include how and why water moves through both xylem and phloem.
