The three forces involved in the upward movement of water in plants?

Vascualr tissue is the tissue that allows water to move up in plants. However the main reason water is able to move up in plants is because of the cohesive and adhesive nature of water. Water has a tendency to cling to to other surfaces as well as itself. . This property of water is what makes it possible to plants to draw water up their roots and their shoots.

∙ 13y agoFluid transport happens in the xylem tissue of the plant.
There are believed to be two mechanisms which transport water and nutrients from the roots to the tree top.
First is the evaporation of liquid from the leaves, this causes a negative pressure and water is drawn up the plant to replace it.
The second mechanism is that at the roots, by definition, the ion concentration outside the roots is greater than inside, so the osmosis forces water + ions into the roots.
Actually, in cool mornings, you'll actually see drops of liquid water on the edges of the leaves, water expelled from the leaves. This is known as guttation.
IF your question concerned the vertical growth of the plant, the plant responds to gravity. And the growing tip is organized as a spiral. Clockwise in some plants, and anticlockwise in others.
[Flanders & Swan had a song about the left-handed bindweed and the right-handed honeysuckle - maybe I got the hands wrong!]
These apical meristems are composed of undifferentiated tissue - their main job is progress. These are the guys that reach onwards.
Quite different apical meristems in roots and tips.

∙ 12y ago1. Water evaporates through the open stoma on leaves, creating a negative hydrostatic pressure that pulls water up through the xylem. This water is supported by adhesion (bonds to the side of the xylem) and cohesion (bonds with other water molecules)
2. Desiccation can occur at nighttime when positive pressure generated by water diffusing into the roots pushes the water columns in the xylem upwards.

IS upward rotation of the scapula the same as lateral rotation?
Yes, both upward and lateral rotation are used to describe the same movement of the scapula. It's the movement of the scapula away from the midline.
What is moving the sole of the foot outward at the ankle called?
Plantar abduction. Movement inward is adduction. Upward movement of the foot is called dorsiflexion. Downward movement of the foot is called plantar flexion.
The movement of water upward through two glass slides pressed together demonstrates?
Adhesion and capillary action
What two forces are responsible for 90 percent of the upward flow of water through a plant?
Bio, fun stuff, right
Why is the stem of terrestial plants strong?
The stem of terrestrial plants are strong to support themselves as they grow upward. Without this physical characteristic, they would simply fall over after growing a few inches.
Three forces involved in the upward movement of water in the plant?
cohesion,adhesion,capillary action
How does volcanic mountain formed?
yes because when two plants convege , compression forces rocks upward to make mountians
Capillary action affect the movement of water underground?
Capillary action forces water upward. So it takes the water from underground causing it to affect the movement of water under ground
How does volcanic materials form mountains?
yes because when two plants convege , compression forces rocks upward to make mountians
The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air form?
The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cold air forms fluids.
What is upward. Forces of a liquid?
Buoyancy.
What do geologists use to monitor the upward movement along a fault?
Geologists use a tiltmeter to monitor the upward movement along a fault.
What are the force acting on a fallen object what direction are these forces?
Assuming you mean "falling": the main forces are gravity (downward), and friction (in the direction opposite to the object's movement - for example, if the objects falls straight down, that would be upward).
What forces cause upward movement in a plant?
I'm pretty sure that it's been proven that root pressure has very little to do with water movement in plants. Water moves up because it's constantly evaporating from the leaves and so it get sucked upwards (not pushed upwards). That is called transpiration.
What is the upward movement of price is known as?
inflation
A muscle producing upward movement is a?
flexor
What is the force that causes an upward movement?
Buoyancy.
