Question

question 11 (1 point) which property best describes how water moves up a plant from the roots to the leaves? a high specific heat b universal solvent c capillary action d density differences

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. In plants, water moves up from the roots to the leaves through tiny tubes (xylem) due to capillary action. High specific heat relates to temperature - change resistance, universal solvent refers to water's ability to dissolve many substances, and density differences are not relevant to water - movement in plants in this context.

Answer:

b. Capillary action
