Transport of water from the soil into the roots is a combination of active transport and passive transport. explain.

Movement of water from the soil to roots can either involve energy-active transport- or can be passive –diffusion. The transpiration pull of the plant as it’s leaves lose water results to negative pressure in the xylem tissues hence water is passively absorbed by the roots. In active transport, energy is used to transport water molecules against an osmotic gradient creating positive pressure in the xylem.

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.  

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
