Identify the incorrect statement regarding cohesion-tension theory that explains the process of water flow upwards through the xylem of the plants:
1. Transpiration in leaves creates tension (differential pressure) in the cell walls of mesophyll cells.

4. This mechanism of water flow works because of water potential (water flows from high to low potential), and the rules of simple diffusion.
