Question
question 2 (1 point) both cohesion and adhesion allow for water to travel from the roots to higher parts of the plant. true false
Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules (due to hydrogen bonding), and adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other substances (like the cell walls in plant xylem). These two properties work together in the process of capillary action. Capillary action, along with transpiration pull (evaporation of water from leaves), helps water move from the roots to the higher parts of the plant.
