Answer 1

water movement against gravity is due to : transpiration

Transpiration is the loss of water in the form of water vapor from the parts of the plant. This takes with the help of stomata that are mostly present on the lower surface of leaves. Their opening is controlled by specialized cells called guard cells to regulate the water loss. This act of transpiration is against gravity as it takes place in the upward direction.
