Question

explain the forces helping in xylem transport​

Answer 1

Cohesion-tension force (transpirational pull) is the main force required for xylem transport.

Explanation:

• The tension pull of transpiration or the cohesion-tension is the forces that drives water up the xylem tube.

• Water evaporates from the surface of the leaves. Due to this a tension pull is generated.

• As a result, more water is drawn from the roots and transported upwards to fill the void.

• Water moves in the root cells from the soil mainly through the process of osmosis.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Cohesion-tension essentially combines the process of capillary action of transpiration, or the evaporation of water from the plant of stomata.Transpiration is ultimately the main driver of water movement in xylem.
