question 1-1
waters special properties make it the single most important molecule in plant life. which of the following properties of water enables it to move from the roots to the leaves of plants?
water is an excellent solvent.
water expands when it freezes.
water exhibits cohesive behavior.
water is able to moderate temperatures.

Explanation:

Cohesion is the attraction between water - water molecules. In plants, cohesive behavior of water allows water molecules to stick together and form a continuous column, enabling water to move from the roots to the leaves through xylem vessels against gravity via processes like transpiration - pull. The other properties listed do not directly relate to this upward movement.

Answer:

Water exhibits cohesive behavior
