Which theory of water transport in xylem can also be used to explain the primary movement of water in nonvascular plants such as mosses?

The options of the question are:

Capillarity

Explanation:

Capillarity is the property of water which drives the movement in the narrow spaces. The water can move in very narrow tubes due to its ability to form intermolecular interaction and the surface tension and surface energy of the water.

This property explains the mechanism of how water can move in the plants which could possess either the separate vascular bundle or not. when the water is absorbed by plant then it gets transported through this capillary action.

Thus, Capillarity is correct.

there is no

explanation:

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics
