    water from high concentration to low concentration
    a substance from high concentration to low concentration
  • Plant stem cells are found...
    In root tips and shoot tips
    In flowers
    In root tips only
    In leaves
  • Why do root hair cells not have chloroplasts?
    They cannot receive sunlight so cannot photosynthesise
    They need more space for the uptake of water
