Down
- 1. Xylem vessels have strong, _____ walls to withstand the tension
- 3. Accumulation of ions has an ______ effect causing water to move into xylem cells from surrounding root cells
- 4. _____ions that are actively absorbed from the soil are pumped into the xylem and lowers the water potential
- 5. one of the 3 factors that causes water in the xylem move upwards
