carbon dioxide enters leaves by diffusion, water and mineral ions are absorbed by roots
1 of 8
How is surface area of roots increased?
root hairs
2 of 8
How is the surface area of leaves increased?
flattened shape and internal air spaces
3 of 8
What does a plant have to allow gases in and out?
Stomata (holes) to obtain carbon dioxide form air, to remove oxygen produced in photosynthesis and water vapour in transpiration
4 of 8
Where do plants mainly lose their water?
From the stomata in the leaves
5 of 8
In which conditions does evaporation happen the fastest?
hot, dry and windy conditions
6 of 8
What happens if plants lose water faster than replaced by roots?
The stomata can close to prevent wilting
