How can trees grow taller?

1. Phloem Sap

1.1. Contain sugars from photosynthesis

1.2. Thick

1.3. Flows down plants phloem tissue to distribute sugar throughout the tree

1.4. By the end, becomes a thin, watery substances at the base of tree

2. Sap:

3. Xylem Sap

3.1. Contains nutrients

3.2. Travels up to spread nutrients through the tree

3.3. Gravity gets in the way

3.4. Transpiration, capillary action, and root pressure aids in getting the nutrients up

4. Transpiration:

4.1. The exhalation of water vapor through the stomata

5. Capillary action:

5.1. Ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity.

6. Root Pressure:

6.1. Osmotic movement at the tree's base
