multiple choice 1 point how does waters capillary action assist in plant biology? it helps roots absorb only non - polar molecules it allows water to rise through narrow tubes (xylem) against gravity it reduces movement of water in plants it causes the leaves to repel water
Capillary action in plants allows water to rise through xylem tubes against gravity. Water molecules are polar and interact with the walls of xylem, creating a pull that lifts water up. It is crucial for water - transport in plants.
