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

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
Â
Â
cation exchange is necessary because negatively charged ions are stuck to inorganic particles of soil
Â
Â
cations are likely to leech out of the soil if there are drainage problems or flooding
Â
Â
hydrogen ions freely diffuse out of plant roots into soil
Â
Â
cation exchange works because plants substitute a strongly charged cation (H+) for required minerals
Â
Â
waste products from cellular respiration provide an energetically free (no ATP needed)Â mechanism to exchange cations
Briefly explain how water moves through a plant. Include how and why water moves through both xylem and phloem.
