Question

Describe the movement of water through the leaf.Igcsedavid mckean

Answer 1

Transpiration is the loss of water from the plant through evaporation at the leaf surface. It is the main driver of water movement in the xylem. The cohesion-tension theory explains how water moves up through the xylem.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Water either moves out of the plant through the leaves' stomata or diffuses into the photosynthetic cells and the spaces around them. This loss of water from the xylem at the far end allows water to flow up the xylem tubes, creating continuous water movement.
