Question

Loss of water from the plant is known as ascent of sap. Is it true or false?

Answer 1

The process which results in the loss of water in the form of water vapour is known as transpiration. Transpiration is the process that is responsible for the movement of water in plants. The water contains the dissolved salts which is known as inorganic sap. The transpiration pull is responsible for the movement of sap. The movement of sap is known as ascent of sap.

Thus, the correct answer is false.
