Question

Which of the following does not accurately describe movement within plants?

A. Cohesion and adhesion contribute to capillary action, which contributes to water movement.
B. Movement of sugars within the xylem results from changes in concentration of water.
C. Changes in the concentration of nutrients affect the cause of movement of fluid through phloem.
D. Transpiration is the only force that drives water movement within a plant.

Answer 1

I think is D. The transpiration is the only force that drives water movement within a plant.

Answer 2

D. Transpiration is the only force that drives water movement within a plant is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transpiration does not accurately describe movement within plants because transpiration is the loss of water in the vapor form from the exposed parts of a plant especially leaves.

Transpiration is necessary for the plant to provide cooling to the plant in hot situations and to allow the transportation of water and mineral from the soil region to leaves.

movement within plants occurs because plants are not able to move from one place to another, to respond to the environmental variations plants perform certain types of movements.

Thus option (B) is correct Transpiration is not accurately describe movement within plants it is the only force that drives water movement within a plant.
