Describe the cohesion tension theory that enables water and dissolved minerals to be transported through dicot plants. You should also describe how water and dissolved minerals enter dicot plant roots. Be sure to include the following:

a) The direction of flow of water and the specific dicot plant structures and tissues through which water and dissolved minerals move from the soil, through the plant to the air.
b) Indicate the biological processes whereby water and dissolved minerals move from the soil into roots as well as the role of the endodermis in controlling movement into the stele.
c) Indicate whether water is under pressure as it is transported upward
d) indicate two properties of water that allow it to flow upward through a plant
e) Indicate specifically what causes water to move to great heights in trees
