MYS TE RlES OF SAP.
How the Circulation From Roota 20
Leaves Es Naintuiued.

How the Circulation From Roofa 70
Leaves Is Maintnimed
To illustrate the modern view of sap
derstood. it is necessary to explain
that the chief food of the plants, con
sisting of inorganic salts dissolved in
water. is absorbed from the soil by the
roots. The root consists Of hollow
tube or cylinder lined with several
cells, the outer layer of which contains
certain hairlike processes.
The water in the soil, containing the
salts IN solution, is absorbed by these
root hairs and passes by filtration into
the cells and capillary vessels. The
activity of these root hairs and the
concentration of fluid in the adjacent
cells create what is called root pres
sure and this forces the sap into the
general vascular system of the plant
and up to its furthest extremities, or
leaves
This root pressure is further sup
plemented by Transportation" or loss of
ence of heat and light. Plants may be
said to breathe or respire hy their
leaves. and this abstraction of water
by Transportation creates fresh de
mand for the vital fluid supplied by the
roots. In this Way the circulation. or
rising of the sap" from root to leaves.
is maintained.-Pe s.
