9.2 Transport in the phloem of plants: Active Transport in Plants to Draw in Water
Understanding that:
-The adhesive property of water and evaporation generate tension forces in leaf cell walls.
-Active uptake of mineral ions in the roots causes absorption of water by osmosis.
-Active transport is used to load organic compounds into phloem sieve tubes at the source.
