In this series, you will learn all about Transport in Plant for NEET. You will learn about simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, active transport, plant-water relations, water potential, solute potential, pressure potential, plasmolysis, osmosis, imbibition, long distance transport of water in plants, water absorption by plants, root pressure theory and cohesion, tension, transpiration, pull theory of water movement, mechanism of transpiration, transpiration and photosynthesis, mechanisms of uptake of mineral ions in plants, translocation of mineral ions, phloem transport, mass flow, pressure flow, and much more.
