Question

Which of the following helps in the upward movement of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves through the stem?

• A. Transpiration
• B. Transportation
• C. Tropic movement
• D. Translocation

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Transpiration

Transpiration is the process by which, excess water is lost from the aerial parts of the plant. This loss of water from the top part of the plant causes a pull to be generated that helps the roots to absorb water from the soil which, is transported to the leaves through the xylem.
