Question

1. the image on the left shows the movement of water up a plant through the stem. cohesion and adhesion are acting in a similar way to when you viewed the water that was poured along a string. in this case however, water evaporating from leaves provides an upward transpiration pull. describe how cohesion and adhesion act in the process of water transport in plants. hint: select two responses. select all that apply: in cohesion, the water molecules make hydrogen bonds to the plant molecules. in adhesion, the water molecules make hydrogen bonds to the plant molecules. in adhesion, the water molecules make hydrogen bonds to other water molecules. in cohesion, the water molecules make hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.

Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules (hydrogen bonds between them). Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and plant molecules (like those in the xylem walls).

Answer:

• In adhesion, the water molecules make hydrogen bonds to the plant molecules.
• In cohesion, the water molecules make hydrogen bonds to other water molecules.
