What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
How does adhesion in water benefit plants?
no
What property explains waters cohesion adhesion and heat capacity?
The properties are: Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances. An example of cohesion is how you can cause water to extend out over the rim of a glass if you fill it carefully; the molecules are all pulling together. An example of adhesion is when you dip a piece of paper towel into a glass of water. The water will climb up the fibers of the paper above the level of the water in the glass. The water is attracted to the paper.
What is a mixture of of water and living cells?
an adhesion
How does adhesion affect living organisms?
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.
What is a non-example of adhesion?
Coming loose is a non-example of adhesion.
What is example of adhesion?
Adhesion is when a molecule attracts to a different substance. An example of this is when one end of a piece of paper towel is dipped into a glass of water. They water will climb up the fibers of the paper.
How will moisture form on a glass?
Cohesion and Adhesion. Adhesion is the property of water that makes it stick to other substances. For example, water on glass. Cohesion is the property of water that makes water stick to itself. For example, water droplets. Now you breath and the air has trace amounts of moisture, so when you breathe out, the moisture go from your mouth to the glass, and due to adhesion, it stays there for a while.

Explain the properties of cohesion and adhesion Give an example of each property?
Cohesion is an attraction between molecules of the same substance. Adhesion is attraction between molecules of different substances. An example of cohesion is how you can cause water to extend out over the rim of a glass if you fill it carefully; the molecules are all pulling together. An example of adhesion is when you dip a piece of paper towel into a glass of water. The water will climb up the fibers of the paper above the level of the water in the glass. The water is attracted to the paper.
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.
Adhesion used in a senentce?
Adhesion is attractive forces between molecules of different types. An example of adhesion is when water is poured on a glass surface. The water spreads out like a film over the glass.
Are Hydrogen bonds are an example of adhesion?
no
Are hydrogen bonds a example of adhesion?
no
Why is adhesion important?
Adhesion is important in plants for water transport. Adhesions in a plant transport water to the vein of the leaves.
What is a non-example of convection?
Adhesion is a non-example of convection.
