Talk:Vascular plant
From Academic Kids
I have the following question which might seem stupid but I have to ask. How do vaskular plants move water etc in the tracheids? For instance in humans the heart pumps the blood..How does this work in plants especially since gravity would do a pretty good job pulling all the juices down? jerry
- Capillary action. Because tracheids are soo freaskily thin, gravity is irrelevant for these tubes to certain extend. Transpiration also sucks the sap up. --Menchi 09:44, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the quick and enlightening answer. Maybe there should be a link for the capillary action page within the article. Thanks again. jerry-greece
- It's been done. :-) --Menchi 08:31, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
