Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main driving force for the movement of water in the xylem?
  • Step 1: Understand that xylem is a part of a plant that transports water from the roots to the leaves.
  • Step 2: Know that water evaporates from the surface of leaves, a process called transpiration.
  • Step 3: Realize that when water evaporates, it creates a pull or suction effect in the xylem.
  • Step 4: This pull helps to draw more water up from the roots through the xylem.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the main driving force for water movement in the xylem is the transpiration pull caused by evaporation.
