Long Distance Transport of Water

Question

Root pressure is responsible for:

Easy

A

Providing a modest push in the overall process of water transport
B

Mass flow of water and minerals
C

Absorption of water by seeds and dry wood
D

Suppling water for photosynthesis

Solution

Root pressure is responsible for providing a modest push in the overall process of water transport. They obviously do not play a major role in water movement up tall trees. The greatest contribution of root pressure may be to re-establish the continuous chains of water molecules in the xylem which often break under the enormous tensions created by transpiration.
