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 called
adhesion. This forces water to climb up tubes of xylem tissue.

∙ 11y agoThere are three forces that affects the sap (water+minerals) flow from roots to the leaves these forces are: Cohesive force between the water molecules, Adhesive force which is mutual attraction between the water molecules and xylem vessels and the last is transpiration pull

How does the properties of a water molecule relate to hydrogen bonding and the properties of adhesion and cohesion?
Really need help!
How does transpiration help the roots absorb water and minerals from soil?
No
Do minerals dissolve in water to help to form petrified wood?
Yes.
What properties of water help water move up the roots of a tree to the leaves of a tree against the force of gravity?
because of the signals from the tree it allows the water to move..
What are the role of minerals in the metabolism and development of plants?
Minerals help make up the plant's main body (the stem and roots/leaves) and helps the plant form its food, glucose. Minerals can help the plant absorb sunlight and retain water.
What two forces help soil hold water?
Adhesion and Cohesion
Is water conductive?
Water that is highly purified will not conduct. Not all purified water is minerals free. minerals help the water conduct better and pure water doesn't have minerals, so the water doesn't conduct and doesn't make electricity. Pure water will not conduct current it is the minerals found within the water, that allow current to flow. Rebecca Gosselin 11 years old
What minerals help feed Brazil?
food and water minerals
How does the properties of a water molecule relate to hydrogen bonding and the properties of adhesion and cohesion?
Really need help!
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.
What do roots help in?
the roots help the plant by absorbing all the water and minerals
How can the flow of storm water be controlled?
The flow can be controlled by using curb inlet filters or bags which can help direct the flow of water.
How does transpiration help the roots absorb water and minerals from soil?
No
How does water flow into a water shed?
Under the help of the gavity , the water can flow into the water shed and it can be more smooth .
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).
Do minerals dissolve in water to help to form petrified wood?
