Q 11 How water is taken up from soil
to the Xylem tissue of the plant roots
?
O A Xylem attracts water molecules
(0)
B roots act as a sucction pump for
taking water
C soil expels the water with
pressure to the xylem
D diference in the ion concentration
creates a gradient for water
movement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water moves into the roots from the soil by osmosis, due to the low solute potential in the roots (lower Ψs in roots than in soil). ... In the case of xylem, adhesion occurs between water molecules and the molecules of the xylem cell walls. Cohesion, which is molecular attraction between “like” molecules.
