← Nature & AnimalsWhich process causes increased turgor pressure, assisting transport?
A)Root pressure via osmotic water influx✓
B)Transpirational pull through xylem vessels
C)Capillary action in plant stomata
D)Active transport of phloem solutes
💡 Explanation
Root pressure increases turgor pressure within root cells via osmosis forcing water into the xylem, therefore water and nutrients are pushed upwards, rather than transpiration relying on the tensile strength of water.
