Question

which statement is true of waters tensile strength? (a) it results from hydrogen bonding. (b) it helps to pull water through plants. (c) it involves both cohesion and adhesion. both (a) and (b). (a), (b), and (c).

Explanation:

Water's tensile strength results from hydrogen - bonding between water molecules (cohesion). This property helps in the transpiration - pull mechanism to pull water through plants. Also, it involves both cohesion (attraction between water molecules) and adhesion (attraction between water and other substances like the cell walls in plants).

Answer:

E. (a), (b), and (c)
