Chapter 36, Problem 3S
Summary Introduction
To compare:
The water transport mechanisms in plants and in animals.
Introduction:
The xylem tissues are responsible for the water transport in plants. Theses tissues transport water and minerals from the roots to the different parts of the plants. The transport of the water in animals is done by the help of the circulatory system. Water and other vital compounds are transported to different parts of the body by the help of the circulatory system in animals.
