Question

1. what is the process called when adhesion and cohesion work together to move water from the roots to the leaves in plants?

a solution is a mixture that forms when one substance dissolves another. the substance that does the dissolving is called the solvent. water is called the universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances than any other known substance. the main property of water that makes it such a good solvent is its polarity. the charged ends of the water molecule attract the molecules of other polar substances (like dissolves like). it can dissolve substances like sugar, bleach, and salt. the cells of your body have large amounts of water, especially in the cytoplasm, and many chemical reactions occur in them. for example, digestion of food requires water. could you survive if your body was unable to digest the food you eat?

Explanation:

Adhesion is the attraction between different substances and cohesion is the attraction between the same - substance molecules. In plants, adhesion of water to the cell walls of xylem vessels and cohesion among water molecules work together to move water from the roots to the leaves through a process called transpiration - pull. Transpiration from the leaves creates a negative pressure (tension) that pulls water up the xylem. The cohesive forces between water molecules allow the water column to be pulled up without breaking, and the adhesive forces between water and the xylem cell walls help to counter - act gravity and support the upward movement of water.

Answer:

Transpiration
