Question

question 5 (1 point) which of the following properties of water helps move water to the top of trees? high specific heat high solubility high surface tension adhesion none of these.

Explanation:

Adhesion is the property of water that allows it to stick to other substances. In plants, water adheres to the walls of xylem vessels. This, along with cohesion (water - water attraction) and transpiration pull, helps in the upward movement of water to the top of trees. High specific heat is related to temperature regulation, high solubility is about dissolving substances, and high surface tension is related to the surface - related properties of water, none of which directly contribute to the upward water movement in trees like adhesion does.

Answer:

adhesion
