Question

Which action is most similar to the way in which water is moved through the xylem sap of a plant?
A) a person drinking through a straw
B) a vaccine being ejected out of a syringe
C) water gushing up from a fountain

Accepted Answer

Water is pulled up through the xylem due to transpiration, which creates a negative pressure that draws water through the plant in a continuous column, much like a person drinking through a straw.
