Answer
Root hairs have a thin cell wall, a large surface area, and a high concentration of mitochondria.
Solution
a
Thin cell wall: This allows for easier diffusion of water and minerals into the root hair cells
b
Large surface area: Root hairs increase the surface area of the root for absorption
c
High concentration of mitochondria: These organelles provide the energy required for the active transport of minerals into the root hair cells
Key Concept
Root hair adaptations for water absorption
Explanation
Root hairs are specialized structures that increase the efficiency of water and nutrient uptake by increasing surface area, facilitating diffusion, and providing energy for active transport.
