Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transpiration-cohesion-tension mechanism involves the evaporation of water from the leaves through tiny pores called stomata, which creates a negative pressure that pulls the water up through the xylem due to the cohesive nature of water molecules and their adhesion to the xylem walls. This mechanism is responsible for the efficient and continuous transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant, against the force of gravity.
