Answer 2

Answer:

Transpiration aids in the movement of water and minerals in the xylem, but it must be controlled in order to prevent water loss.

trees have placed themselves in the cycle that circulates water from the soil to clouds and back. They are able to maintain water in the liquid phase up to their total height by maintaining a column of water in small hollow tubes using ROOT PRESSURE, CAPILLARY ACTION and COHESIVE FORCE OF WATER.

A key factor that helps create the pull of water up the tree is the loss of water out of the leaves through a process called transpiration. During TRANSPIRATION, water vapor is released from the leaves through small pores or openings called stomates. Stomates are present in the leaf so that carbon dioxide--which the leaves use to make food by way of photosynthesis--can enter. The loss of water during transpiration creates more negative water potential in the leaf, which in turn pulls more water up the tree. So in general, the water loss from the leaf is the engine that pulls water and nutrients up the tree
