Water will be absorbed by root hairs when:

Options

  1. Athe concentration of salts in soil is high
  2. Bthe concentration of solutes in the cell sap is high
  3. Cthe plant is rapidly transpiring
  4. Dthey are separated from soil by a semipermeable membrane

Correct answer

B. the concentration of solutes in the cell sap is high

Step-by-step solution

The movement of molecules always takes place from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. The soil has a higher concentration of water as compared to the water in the root hair, this allows the water from the soil to move to the root hair by facilitated diffusion. This process of diffusion and absorption is possible only when the cell sap (the watery fluid in the plant vacuole) has a lower concentration of water and a higher concentration of solute as compared to the root hair so that t
