Answer:

The cohesion-tension theory explains how leaves pull water through the xylem. Water molecules stick together, or exhibit cohesion. As a water molecule evaporates from the surface of the leaf, it pulls on the adjacent water molecule, creating a continuous flow of water through the plant.

TRANSPIRATION

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and it is evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems, and flowers. Water is necessary for all plants but only a small amount of water taken up the root is used for growth and metabolism.

EXPLANATION

  • The tension created by transpiration "pulls" water in the plant xylem. drawing the water upward in much the same way that you draw water upward when you suck on straw. cohesions (water sicking to each other) causes more water molecules to fill the gap in the xylem as the top-most water is pulled toward the stomata.
  • A transpiration pull could be simply defined as biological process in which the force of pulling is produced inside the xylem tissue.
  • This force helps in the upward movement of water into the xylem vessels in this process, losses of water in the form of vapours through leaves are observed.
