Question

Briefly explain, how transpiration helps in the upward conduction of water from the soil?


Open in App
Solution

Transpiration helps in the upward transport of substances in plants because:

  1. During transpiration, water evaporates through pores in the leaves called stomata
  2. It creates negative pressure in the leaves that helps to move water up from the roots through the xylem by transpirational pull.
