Stem Placed In Colored Water

Transportation in Plants Experiment

Transportation in plants refers to how water, minerals, and food move throughout a plant. This essential process happens through specialized tissues called xylem and phloem. In this experiment, we observe the movement of water using coloured water and a cut plant stem, showing how plants carry water from roots to leaves.

Understanding the Process

Plants need water for survival, and they absorb it through their roots. But how does that water get to the top of a tree or to every leaf? That’s where the xylem comes in — it’s like a pipeline running from the roots all the way to the leaves.

In our experiment, we place a cut stem (like from a white flower or celery) into coloured water. Over time, we see colored streaks appear in the stem and the leaves. These streaks mark the exact path the water follows, proving that water moves through xylem vessels.

Real-Life Applications

• Farmers water the roots because water naturally moves upward to nourish the entire plant.
• Florists often add food colouring to water to make white flowers change colour — perfect for decorations.
• In tall trees, this system helps water reach leaves that are many meters above the ground.

What We Observe

• Coloured lines show up inside the stem.
• Leaves start showing coloured veins.
• The colour moves higher as more time passes.
• This is visible proof of water transport through xylem.

Study Plant Transport Easily with Dencity Virtual Science Lab

Using the Dencity app, students can perform the Transportation in Plants Experiment without needing real plants or dyes. In the Dencity virtual lab, you can:

• Choose a plant stem and add coloured water.
• Watch how the dye moves through xylem vessels in real-time.
• Speed up time to observe faster results.
• Understand how xylem helps plants move water and survive.

This experiment is part of class 10 science, and Dencity makes it simple, safe, and exciting for every student to explore plant biology.

Dencity for Teachers

Dencity supports interactive teaching by providing:

• Live plant experiments without physical setup.
• Tools to adjust variables and explain plant transport systems clearly.
