hey guys am new here and I am asking my first question the question is...................plz explain me the "rise of cell sap" . it's of biology and chapter is......... "TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN PLANTS"

Answer:
The upward movement of water with dissolved minerals from roots to the tips of stem, branches and their leaves is called ascent of sap.The sap absorbed by the root hairs passes through the cortex, pericycle of roots to enter the elements of xylem (vessels, tracheids and xylem parenchyma).

Explanation:
The ascent of sap or the rise of cell sap in the xylem tissue of plants is the upward movement of water and minerals from the root to the crown. Xylem is a complex tissue consisting of living and non-living cells. The conducting cells in xylem are typically non-living and include, in various groups of plants, vessels members and tracheids. Both of these cell types have thick, lignified secondary cell walls and are dead at maturity. Although several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the phenomenon, the cohesion-tension mechanism has the most evidence and support. Although cohesion-tension has received criticism, for example due to the apparent existence of large negative pressures in some living plants, experimental and observational data favor this mechanism.
