Question

The force generated by transpiration can create pressure sufficient to lift water even up to the

• A. $130feet$
• B. $130metre$
• C. $230feet$
• D. $230metre.$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $130metre$

The loss of water from plants via evaporation generates a transpiration pull that forces water to come up into the plant from the ground via capillary action. This pull is strong enough to make the water reach heights of 100-150 metres.

So, the correct answer is '130 metre'.
