Adhesion is a property of water molecules, and this property allows water to move up the walls of plant cells.

Adhesion is important for living organisms because it allows cells to stick together and form tissues and organs. In plants, adhesion helps water move up through the xylem vessels. In animals, adhesion is needed for cells to stick to blood vessel walls and for platelets to form blood clots.

How do non living things affect the organisms?
Abiotic factors (non-living things) affect organisms in many ways. Water, light, gases, temperature and salinity are all non living things but all contibute in the functioning of organisms.
What is a mixture of of water and living cells?

What living things affect the environment?

What characteristic of water is the most beneficial to living things?

What is an example of how adhesion affects living organisms?
The cells of an organism have adhesion on them to help the parts of the cell stick together while it is forming. Adhesion between cells is a very important part of life.
How does water adhesion affect living organisms?
Water molecules adhere to the xylem walls and are carried up by transpirational pull during ascent of sap, which is an essential process for plant life.
How does cohesion affect living organisms?
Cohesion is the attraction or holding together of molecules of the same substance. It affects living organisms through water, which also has adhesion (holding together of molecules of different substances). A combination of cohesion and adhesion creates capillary action, the ability for water (or any liquid) to run along a surface. (basically, it allows water to climb up small tubes.
Why does non living organisms affect living organisms?

What affect does spring acid shock have on aquatic organisms?
They make the living organisms dead.
What describes adhesion in water?
A simple definition of adhesion in water would be that water sticks to things. An example of this can be seen when pouring water into a shallow dish. Rather than staying in one area, the water will spread out to touch all parts of the dish.If you are referring to the adhesion of water onto glass or substances of the like, it is because water molecules make weak bonds with the molecules on the glass, which are easily broken, ie pour out of the glass or evaporation.
How do living organisms affect the environment through their deaths?
