Evaporation of water from the aerial parts of the plants, especially through the stomata of the leave creates a force which is cause of water movement in higher plant is _.
Correct answer: E. Transpiration Pull
- A. Root Pressure
- B. Leave Pressure
- C. Imbibitions
- D. Transpiration
- E. Transpiration Pull
Explanation
When water evaporates from the aerial parts of the plant, it creates a negative pressure or tension in the xylem vessels, which is known as transpiration pull. This negative pressure generates a force that pulls the water up through the roots and stems towards the leaves, which is called the ascent of sap.
