Answer:
(1) Translocation of water is transport of water along with dissolved minerals from roots to aerial parts.
(2) The movement is against the gravity and describecd as ascent ot sap.
(3) The translocation occurs through Iumen of water conducting tissue xylem mainly vessels and tracheids.
(4) Different theories have been discussed for translocation mechanism like vital force theory (Root pressure), relay pump. physical force (capillary), etc.
(5) Cohesion tension theory or transpiration pull theory is most widely accepted theory.
