The xylem water tension is strong enough to pull water to:
Correct answer: A. 200 meters
- A. 200 meters
- B. 400 feets
- C. 300 meters
- D. 500 feets
Explanation
Answer is "200 meters"Explanation: It is provided when this water chain is pulled up in the xylem. Transpiration provides the necessary energy or force. Tension is between the molecules of water by hydrogen bonds. This xylem water tension is strong enough to pull water up to 200 meters (more than 600 feet) in plants.
