Study Notes
Capillary Action in Plants
- The Cohesion Theory explains the process of capillary action in the stem.
Evaporation in the Leaf
- During evaporation in the leaf, adjacent water molecules are pulled up.
Pressure in the Xylem
- A decrease in pressure inside the xylem occurs due to water being pulled up.
Water Molecules in Capillary Action
- Hydrogen bonding between water molecules causes them to stick together in capillary action.
Pulling Up of Water Column
- Transpiration pull is the main factor that causes the pulling up of the water column in the stem.
