multiple choice 10 points
how do cohesion and adhesion help capillary action?
they make water less sticky.
cohesion makes water molecules stick together, while adhesion makes water molecules stick to other materials.
they prevent water from moving upward.
cohesion makes water molecules repel each other.

Explanation:

Capillary action is the ability of water to move upward through small openings. Cohesion refers to water molecules sticking together, and adhesion refers to water molecules sticking to other materials. These two properties work together to facilitate capillary action.

Answer:

1. What is capillary action? - The ability of water to move upward through small openings.
2. How do cohesion and adhesion help capillary action? - Cohesion makes water molecules stick together, while adhesion makes water molecules stick to other materials.
