[Verse 1]
Osmosis
{If only I could see)
Hypnosis
(Is taking over me)
[Chorus]
Adhesion (cohesion)
Transpiration (transportation)
Xylem (X-ray if I can)
[Bridge]
At the root… pressure
(Ensure there’s more)
Transpiration
(Absolute)
Solute concentration
[Verse 2]
Osmosis
{If only I could be)
In focus
(So that I could see)
[Chorus]
Adhesion (cohesion)
Transpiration (transportation)
Xylem (X-ray if I can)
[Bridge]
At the root… pressure
(Ensure there’s more)
Transpiration
(Absolute)
Solute concentration
[Outro]

A SCIENCE NOTE
The movement of sap through a tree is governed by physical principles like capillary action, osmosis, and cohesion-tension. Here’s a breakdown:
- Capillary Action: Sap rises through tiny xylem vessels due to adhesion (water molecules sticking to cell walls) and cohesion (water molecules sticking to each other).
- Osmosis: Roots absorb water from the soil, driven by differences in solute concentration.
- Cohesion-Tension Theory: Transpiration (water evaporation) at leaves creates negative pressure, pulling sap upward. This pressure combines with root pressure to transport nutrients and water.
Temperature, humidity, and tree structure influence the process.
