Question

Water is absorbed through the leaves in order to travel upward through the plant.
Is this True or False

Answer 1

Explanation:

Capillary action helps bring water up into the roots. But capillary action can only "pull" water up a small distance, after which it cannot overcome gravity. To get water up to all the branches and leaves, the forces of adhesion and cohesion go to work in the plant's xylem to move water to the furthest leaf.

i think true

Answer 2

Answer:

false

Explanation:

diffusion takes place because there is a water potential gradient between water in the xylem vessel and the leaf ( as water transpiring out of the leaf) this means the water diffuses up the leaf
