Plants use adhesion and cohesion to produce an affect called capillary action which will help move materials upward and circulate the substances throughout the plant.

What two forces help soil hold water?

Adhesion and Cohesion


How do cohesion and adhesion work together?

First, the adhesion makes the molecules of water stick to the walls of the plants roots and leaves. Then the cohesion joins the molecules of water together to help them move up the walls of the plants roots and leaves.

Which important phenomena occur in plant leaves and help water transportation in xylem tissues?

Two important phenomena that occur in plant leaves to help with water transportation in xylem tissues are transpiration and cohesion-adhesion. Transpiration is the process where water evaporates from the leaves and creates a force to pull more water up from the roots, while cohesion-adhesion are forces that allow water molecules to stick together and to the walls of xylem vessels, aiding in their movement upwards.


HELP - I need it by July 16 2009 - Which is stronger - cohesion in a liquid or its adhesion to a solid?

it depends on the solid with which the liquid comes in contact, if the adhesion is stronger the liquid wets the solid else i t cannot ; eg;- in the case of water and glass the adhesion is much stronger than cohesion ,on the other hand the cohesion is greater if you consider the case of water and certain leaves(in which water cant wet them).


What properties of water help water move up the roots of a tree to the leaves of a tree against the force of gravity?

The properties of adhesion and cohesion in water molecules allow for capillary action, enabling water to move up the roots of a tree. Adhesion causes water molecules to stick to the walls of the plant's xylem vessels, while cohesion keeps water molecules together, allowing them to be pulled up as a column. Transpiration, the process of water evaporating from the leaves, also helps to create a low pressure in the leaves, pulling water up the plant.

How does cohesion help water and minerals flow?

cohesion helps water and minerals flow because... water molecules cling to each other as a result of a force called cohesion cling to molecules of other substances, too , and this force is calledadhesion. This forces water to climb up tubes of xylem tissue.


Can mercury wet a substance?

Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.


What are the main functions of plant leaves?

The leaves of a plant have three main functions: 1-They help in photosynthesis 2-They help the plant to respire(transpiration) 3-They store various food material
