Which theory explains the movement of water through xylem?

Practice MCQ for SSC, UPSC, RRB Exams

A. Mass flow hypothesis A.
B. Pressure flow hypothesis B.
C. Transpiration-cohesion theory C.
D. Diffusion theory D.

Correct Answer: C সঠিক উত্তর: C

Explanation ব্যাখ্যা

The transpiration-cohesion theory describes how water is pulled up through the xylem from the roots to the leaves due to the combined forces of transpiration (water loss from leaves) and the cohesive properties of water molecules. Water molecules adhere to the xylem walls and stick together, forming a continuous column that is pulled upward by the tension created by transpiration at the leaf surface.
