Question

How are forces of cohesion and adhesion created in a plant?

Answer 1

Cohesion: When water molecules stick to one another through cohesion, they fill the column in the xylem and act as a huge single molecule of water (like water in a straw). ... In plants, adhesion forces water up the columns of cells in the xylem and through fine tubes in the cell wall

Answer 2

Answer:

:

Cohesion of water

Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, and water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another. ... Thus, the water molecules at the surface form stronger interactions with the neighbors they do have.
