In Plants, water supply is due to_______
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D adhesion force
In plants, transportation of water and mineral take place through the xylem. The method used in the upward movement of water through the xylem is determined by the cohesion-tension theory. The attractive force, (created by the polarity of a water molecule) along with other intermolecular forces, is one of the principal factors responsible for the occurrence of surface tension in liquid water. It also allows plants to draw water from the root through the xylem to the leaf.
