Which of the following processes is most directly responsible for the movement of water from the roots to the leaves in tall trees?
Which of the following processes is most directly responsible for the movement of water from the roots to the leaves in tall trees?
- Transpiration pull, along with cohesion and adhesion of water molecules. (correct)
- Osmosis from areas of high water concentration in the soil to leaves.
- The pressure generated by root cells pushing water upwards.
- Active transport of water molecules by xylem cells.
If a plant is showing signs of wilting, despite adequate watering, which tissue is most likely malfunctioning?
If a plant is showing signs of wilting, despite adequate watering, which tissue is most likely malfunctioning?
- Epidermal tissue, causing excessive water loss.
- Vascular tissue, disrupting water transport. (correct)
- Ground tissue, limiting water storage capacity.
- Dermal tissue, preventing water absorption.
