What does adhesion produce an effect of when you place a straw in a liquid?
Adhesion produces the effect of capillary action when a straw is placed in liquid. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.
What is the influence of adhesion and cohesion in liquid?
what ia the influence of adhesion and cohesion on liquid
What do we call the phenomenon that occurs when adhesion and cohesion work together to pull a liquid up a thin glass tube?
That is capillary action.
Explain capillary action?
Capillary action is the motion of water up a thin tube against the flow of gravity as a result of cohesion and adhesion
What word is used for the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
It is called a MENISCUS caused by capillary action betweem the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the container, and resulting from surface tension within the liquid. In addition: Adhesion: Making one material adhere to another.

What do Cohesion and Adhesion have to do with Capillary action?
The liquid rises up due to the forces of adhesion between the capillary and liquid.. It rises till the extent when adhesive and cohesive forces and external forces balance each other...

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.

Give an example of how cohesion among water molecules is important to living things?
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).

How does sweat counteract the action of the urinary system?
The body loses water in three ways. Water is emitted through the urinary system, the bowels and through sweat. When any of these systems produces more, such as sweating on a hot day, the other systems will produce less liquid.
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).
Action of a solid changing to a liquid state usually through the application of heat?
melting
