Question

which properties of water are important for water moving from a trees roots to its leaves?
cohesion and adhesion
high specific heat
density

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules, and adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other substances (like the walls of xylem vessels in plants). These properties work together to create a continuous column of water that can be pulled up from the roots to the leaves through capillary action and the transpiration - pull mechanism. High specific heat is related to temperature regulation, and density is more relevant to the physical state (e.g., ice floating on water) rather than water movement in plants.

Answer:

cohesion and adhesion
