Question

which property of water helps plants move water upward through their stems?
solubility
surface tension only
electrical conductivity
cohesion and adhesion

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cohesion is the attraction between water - water molecules and adhesion is the attraction between water and other substances like the walls of plant xylem. Together, they create a capillary action that allows water to move upward through plant stems against gravity. Solubility, surface tension only, and electrical conductivity are not directly related to this upward water movement in plants.

Answer:

Cohesion and adhesion
