Modern transport‚ especially by air‚ allows people to circle the globe in a few days‚ or hours‚ if an aircraft such as Concorde is used. Thus we have learnt to look upon distance as nothing.

Transport in Plants Matthew H. 9A 131002 Today I will be discussing our experiment and the basics of transport of minerals and water in plants. Transport in plants are called transpiration. Water evaporates from the leaves which cause a type of suction that draws water from the roots. The water travels up via the vascular bundles. This flow of water is called transpiration stream. Some pressure is created forcing some water out of the cells in into the spaces between the cells

Water Transport The movement of plants from water to land has necessitated the development of internal mechanisms to supply all the parts of the plant with water. As discussed in Plant Classification‚ Vasular Tissues ‚ tracheophytes (including virtually all terrestrial plants except for mosses and liverworts)‚ have developed complex vascular systems that move nutrients and water throughout the plant body through "tubes" of conductive cells. The vascular tissues of these plants are called xylem
