Detailed Solution

Xylem transport or ascent of sap is driven by development of negative pressure potential or tension at the surface of mesophyll cell wall which is transmitted along the xylem and ultimately to root. The phloem transport is driven by more pressure developed in sieve tubes at the source and less pressure in the sieve tubes of sink.
