2.53 explain how water is absorbed by root hair cells

These substances then move to the xylem.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for spending so much time making these science pages. My whole year uses them for revision. We're in year 11. I only started a blog because I saw how amazing yours was. Mine isn't really about the same thing at all but you still inspired me and helped my brother get three A* so thank you.
