Biologists have concluded that the experiment in Figure 1 supports the box
cohesion–tension theory of water transport in the xylem.
Explain how this conclusion is supported by the experiment in Figure 1.

0 1 . 3 An air bubble was introduced into the glass tubing in Figure 1. The air bubble moved
a distance (d) of 1.5 cm in 120 minutes. The radius of the lumen (hole) of the glass
tubing was 0.6 cm
Use this information and the formula πr 2 d to calculate the rate of water movement in
the glass tubing in cm3 hour –1.
Use π = 3.14 in your calculation.
