Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Density: Mass per unit volume, not related to water movement in plants.
• Condensation: Phase change from gas to liquid, irrelevant here.
• Capillary action: Defined as the combined effect of cohesion (water - water attraction) and adhesion (water - surface attraction) that pulls water up narrow tubes (like plant xylem). This matches the description.
• Surface tension: Related to the "skin - like" surface of water due to cohesion, not the upward pull in plants.

• Cohesion: Attraction between like molecules (water - water). Surface tension is the result of cohesive forces at the water's surface, as water molecules at the surface are pulled inward by cohesive forces from below.
• Adhesion: Attraction between different molecules (e.g., water - glass), not the cause of surface tension.
• Capillary action: A result of both cohesion and adhesion, not the cause of surface tension.
• Density: Mass - volume relationship, not related to surface tension.

• Adhesion: Attraction between different substances (e.g., water and a plant's xylem wall).
• Cohesion: By definition, it is the attraction of a substance to itself. For water, cohesion is the attraction between water molecules.
• Specific heat: The amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance, not related to attraction.
• Selfie love: A non - scientific, humorous distractor.
