Document Summary

How water moves from the soil solution to root xylem tissue, including how water enters the symplast in the epidermis or cortex and moves into the root xylem tissue (apoplast) Water moves down water potential gradient and across root hair membrane. Water moves across multiple cells (epidermal and cortical) through plasmodesmata. Water moves through symplast and across cell membrane into the xylem. Water moves into cell wall in the apoplast. Water moves through apoplast and gets to the casparian strip in the endodermal cells. Water crosses a membrane into the symplast. Water moves across cell membrane into the xylem. Plants release co2 into soil as a byproduct of cellular respiration or pump h+ out directly. Co2 reacts with water to produce hco3- and h+. H+ protons displace cations from negatively charged clay and organic matter. Cations move into the cell via channels down their electrical gradient.
