Explain tranaspiratory pull theory of upward translatinon of water and minerals |
| Answer» Transpiration: Loss of water through stomata,during day time.How does transpiration cause water to be pulled?During transpiration,when water is lost, It creates a vacuum between their xylem vessels. The vacuum creates a suction pull,this helps in transport of water.\tCohesion and adhesion also take place.Cohesion: Attraction between similar molecules (between water molecule)[Since H2O is a dipole molecule]Adhesion: Attraction between dissimilar molecule (between water and stem)\xa0 | |
