Transport in Plants: Xylem and Phloem: a 3D model for Class 7–9 Science, covering root hairs take in water and dissolved minerals from the spaces between soil particles…, xylem carries water and minerals from the roots up through the stem to the leaves (one way, upward, in this plant), xylem vessels are hollow tubes of dead cells with stiff, ringed walls, transpiration is the loss of water vapour, mainly through stomata in the leaves; it helps pull water up the xylem, stomata open wider and transpiration speeds up on warm, sunny, dry, breezy days; it slows on cool, humid, still days.
