Explain ascent of sap with reference to transpiration and suction pull |
|
Answer» Answer The WATER deficit or suction force developed in leaf cells due to transpiration is responsible for PULLING the water column in the upward direction (ascent of sap) . Hence, it is called transpiration pull. The magnitude of suction force is sufficient to LIFT the water column to any heights, even in TALLEST TREES. |
