Which of the following does not play any role in the movement of water through the xylem?
Options
- ACapillarity
- BRoot pressure
- C/ATPase pump at the xylem element membrane
- DTranspirational pull
Correct answer
C. /ATPase pump at the xylem element membrane

ATPase pumps are found on the membranes of the living component i.e. cell or organelle. Because xylem is a dead tissue through which conduction of water occurs, therefor no ATPase action is found in the xylem.
