Answer 1

Question:-

State the two processes in plants due to which transportation of water and minerals is possible from soil to all the parts of the plant body?

Required Answer:-

The theory that describes the mechanism of transport of water & minerals from roots to the leaves is transpirational pull theory and the processes involved are:

• Transpiration: When water is lost by the aerial parts of plants, they pull the xylem sap upwards which contains the water & minerals. Thus, it helps in the absorption and upward movement of water.

• Cohesion & Adhesion: The mutual attraction between water & water molecules and water and the xylem surface helps in the movement of water in one direction i.e. from roots to leaves against gravity$.$

Transpiration and Cohesion & Adhesion

Explanation :-

• Cohesion is the process of attracting water to water. Ex => A drop of water into a glass
• Adhesion is the process of attracting water to any substance. Ex => Cleaning house
• Transportation is lost of green pigment in plants
