Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As

sludge is further treated in ’sludge digesters’: large heated tanks in which its chemical decomposition is catalysed by microorganisms. The sludge is largely converted to ’biogas’‚ a mixture of CH4 and CO2‚ which is used to generate electricity for the plant. The liquid is treated by bacteria which break down the organic matter remaining in solution. It is then sent to oxidation ponds where heterotrophic bacteria continue the breakdown of the organics and solar UV light destroys the harmful bacteria. The
