Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plant is called F.

Solution

(i) A is diffusion- Water and dissolved minerals are absorbed by the root hair of a plant by a process called diffusion
(ii) B is Xylem- Water and dissolved minerals are transported to all the parts of the plant by the conducting tissue Xylem.
(iii) C is transpiration -The process that helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B (Xylem) in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant is known as Transpiration.
(iv) D is photosynthesis-In the leaves, food is made by a process of Photosynthesis.
(v) E is phloem-The food is transported to all the parts of a plant through Phloem.
(vi) F is translocation- The process of transportation of food, that are prepared in leaves to all the parts of the plant is called Translocation.
