How does a root hair cell's long extension increase uptake?
The long extension gives a thicker cell wall, increasing uptake.
The long extension gives a small surface area, increasing uptake.
The long extension gives a higher chloroplast concentration, increasing uptake.
The long extension gives a large surface area, increasing uptake.
6.2 Transport in plants Flashcards
Flashcards for Edexcel GCSE Biology 6.2 Transport in plants, covering the key terms, definitions and processes you need to recall for Paper 1 and Paper 2. 20 cards drawn from 6.2.1 Root hair cell adaptations, 6.2.2 Structure of xylem and phloem, 6.2.3 Transpiration and stomata, 6.2.4 Translocation of sucrose, 6.2.5 Leaf structure for photosynthesis, 6.2.6 Environmental factors on water uptake, 6.2.7 Rate calculations for transpiration, and 6.2.8 Plant adaptations to extreme environments, matched to the Edexcel GCSE Biology (1BI0) specification. Recall questions account for roughly 40% of marks at GCSE Biology, so these target the marks you can secure before the paper starts.
