Water moves through leaf tissues along different pathways because of: • variations in water potential • the pull passed on through cohesive forces between water molecules. The diagram illustrates three pathways along which water can move. Which row correctly shows why water moves through leaf tissues by the different pathways?
- Adifferences in water potential: route 1; pull transmitted by cohesive forces: routes 2 and 3
- Bdifferences in water potential: routes 1 and 3; pull transmitted by cohesive forces: route 2
- Cdifferences in water potential: route 2; pull transmitted by cohesive forces: routes 1 and 3
- Ddifferences in water potential: routes 2 and 3; pull transmitted by cohesive forces: route 1
