Instead of a circulation of the sap in plants similar to the movements of the blood of animals, water contain- ing mineral salts is taken in at the roots in liquid form and carried upward to the leaves through the woody tissue, and then evaporated, leaving the mineral or ash behind in the leaf, where it serves in making food. The â¢chief purpose of transpiration is, therefore, to carry a stream of mineral food from the soil to the green parts of the plant, although it also serves to aid in the ex- change of gases with the air. and preserves more equable temperatures of the body of the plant. Minerals may be absorbed by the plant only in very dilute solutions. Hence it is necessary for the plan
