The carrot itself is a type of root—it is responsible for conducting water from the soil to the plant. The carrot is made of cells. Cells are mostly water, but they are filled with other substances too (organelles, the nucleus, etc).


We’re going to do two experiments on a carrot: first we’re going to figure out how to move water into the cells of a carrot. Second, we’ll look at how to move water within the carrot and trace it. Last, we’ll learn how to get water to move out of the carrot. And all this has to do with cells!
