Vedclass · Answer

(D) The continuous upward movement of water in plants, known as the $transpiration 	ext{ pull}$, is primarily maintained by the $cohesion-tension-transpiration 	ext{ pull}$ model.$1$. $Cohesion$: The mutual attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding.$2$. $Adhesion$: The attraction of water molecules to the polar surfaces of the xylem vessel walls.$3$. $Surface 	ext{ Tension}$: Water molecules are more attracted to each other in the liquid phase than to water in the gas phase.These forces create a continuous water column that resists breakage, allowing water to be pulled up to great heights in tall trees.
