Which process is primarily responsible for the movement of water through xylem?
Correct Answer: Transpiration
- Step 1: Understand that xylem is a type of tissue in plants that transports water.
- Step 2: Learn about transpiration, which is the process of water evaporating from the leaves of the plant.
- Step 3: Realize that when water evaporates from the leaves, it creates a negative pressure (like a vacuum) in the leaf area.
- Step 4: This negative pressure pulls more water up from the roots through the xylem.
- Step 5: Conclude that transpiration is the main process that helps move water upward through the xylem.
