Question

Define the translocation and ascent of sap

Answer 1

The translocation is the movement of water in plants from downward to upward through xylem tissue with the help of tracheids and vessels.

Answer 2

Ascent of Sap:

 

Ascent of water and Minerals

 

The upward movement of water from the root to aerial parts of the plant body is called ascent of sap or often called translocation of water.  It is fascinating to understand how water moves in plants to such great heights such as 300 ft. or more.  For example, trees like Sequoia sempervirens are as tall as 399.3ft. But the redwood Hyperion is 379.7 feet tall. They are the 4000 yrs old and giants among the tree plants.   These plants transport water through their stem to such great heights is ‘incredible’.
