Question

What is the difference between ascent of sap and root pressure?

Answer 1

Ascent of sap occurs from roots to aerial parts of the plant whereas translocation occurs from leaves to the other parts of the body. ... Ascent of sap occurs largely using simple physical forces like transpiration and root pressure, but translocation is achieved by utilising energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ascent of sap : The process of upward conduction of cell sap from the roots to other parts against gravity is called Ascent of sap

Root pressure : Due to continuous inflow of water, a pressure develope in the roots which helps the up Luard  movement of plant sap is called Root pressure
