Question 6
Water is transported upwards through the stem of a tall plant. Which property makes that possible?
The right answer is the one marked above.
Water has high cohesive and adhesive forces — it clings to itself and to the walls it travels through. That is what carries it up the stem of a tall plant.
Cohesion is water sticking to water; adhesion is water sticking to something else. Together they let a column of water be pulled upwards without breaking.
