Transpiration and Cohesion-Tension Theory. Cohesion and adhesion in the transport of water in plants

This videos explains the factors affecting transpiration as well as explaining the cohesion-tension theory. This is in the mass transport in plants topic in A-level biology, mass transport of water in plants. Learn how the properties of water result in adhesion and cohesion on water molecules to create a continuous column of water moving up the xylem.

This is often a topic students find conceptually challenging, so hopefully, this video will help clarify and explain the key ideas.

this video has done wonders to me and my learners ❤❤❤

[oliviaglanville]

When I was taught this we were taught how minerals are actively transported into the roots and because this lowers the water potential the water follows by osmosis. You didn't seem to mention this in the video so I was wondering if it is something I need to know or will be asked questions about. Thank you :)
