Detailed explanation-1: -The tree must first start performing photosynthesis in order to make up for the lost nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a plant’s Xylem is removed, the plant will be unable to carry water to its leaves, interfering with activities such as photosynthesis, transpiration, and growth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is ultimately the main driver of water movement in xylem. The cohesion-tension model works like this: Transpiration (evaporation) occurs because stomata are open to allow gas exchange for photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The “stickiness” between water molecules and the xylem vessel walls is called adhesion. Cohesion and adhesion work together in the xylem to pull water molecules from the roots, up the stem, and out of the plant through the stomata. The flow of water transport is impacted by the plant rate of transpiration.
