The Tension-Cohesion-Adhesion Hypothesis
Tension-Cohesion-Adhesion Hypothesis:
- Mesophyll cells lose water, creating a water deficit in the top floor, which results in negative pressure, also known as tension. The solute concentration in these cells increases, consequently increasing the osmotic pressure.

- Water molecules are linked together due to cohesion forces (between water molecules) and adhesion
