Biology · Plant Transport Mechanisms
Continuity of the water column within xylem vessels under high tension during transpiration is maintained primarily due to:
- 1Active transport of water molecules by xylem parenchyma cells
- 2Osmotic pressure gradients present across vessel elements
- 3Capillary action within root cells alone
- 4High tensile strength and cohesive-adhesive properties of water molecules✓
Correct answer
High tensile strength and cohesive-adhesive properties of water molecules
