Class 11 Biology - Chapter Transport in Plants NCERT Solutions | What essential role does the root endode
Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Biology - Chapter Transport in Plants. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Excercise ".$ex_no." , Question 13: what essential role does the root endodermis play....
Question 13
What essential role does the root endodermis play during mineral absorption in plants?
Answer
In plants, nutrients are absorbed through the active and passive transports. The endodermal cells of the roots containing suberin allow only selected minerals to pass through them. The transport proteins present in the membranes of these cells act as check points for the various solutes reaching the xylem.
