Question

to move water from one glass to another using capillary action, you can try the following experiment:

1. fill one dish with water and leave another dish empty
2. take a small strip of paper towel
3. place one end of it in the dish of water and the other end in the empty dish
4. watch what happens immediately then observe in 3 min.

empty both dishes, answer the questions and reset the lab for the next group/class.
question: what are the two properties of water that are responsible for capillary action? (choose 2)
replication
evaporation
adhesion
cohesion
translation
transpiration
condensation
transcription

Explanation:

Capillary action in water is due to adhesion (water molecules sticking to other substances like the paper towel) and cohesion (water molecules sticking to each other). Replication, translation, transcription are biological processes related to DNA and RNA. Evaporation is the change of water from liquid to gas. Transpiration is water movement in plants. Condensation is gas to liquid change.

Answer:

adhesion, cohesion
