What is Water Transport Mechanisms in Plants about?

1) Water moves up the xylem vessels from the roots to the leaves via transpiration pull. Evaporation of water from the leaves creates tension in the xylem, pulling more water up to replace what is lost. 2) Water enters the root hairs from the soil by osmosis down a water potential gradient and moves into the xylem vessels. 3) The cohesion-tension theory explains how water continually flows through the xylem vessels from roots to leaves via adhesion and cohesion between water molecules.
