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.
