(b) How does water from the soil reach the leaves of a plant to be used in photosynthesis ?

Open in App

Solution

The water required by the plants for photosynthesis is absorbed by the roots of the plants from the soil through the process of osmosis.

The absorbed water is transported upward through the xylem vessels to the leaves where it reaches the photosynthetic cells and is utilised in photosynthesis.
