Question

what are the different strategies used by plants for transportation of water and minerals during day and night?

Answer 1

Plats use two different strategies for transportation of water and minerals during day and night i.e. transpirational pull and root pressure.

Root Pressure is the positive pressure created by the movement of water from roots to the soil for upward movement of water.The effect of root pressure in transport of water is more important at night

Transpiration pull is the pull of water as a result of tension created by transpiration in the aerial parts of the plant. It is the major driving force of water movement upwards in a plant during day.
