As a group, hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together and this helps transport of water against gravity in plants. Also adhesion causes the attraction between water and plant cells for example and water is essential for cellular activities. Hope this helps!

Is carbon cohesive and adhesive?
no
What makes water adhesive?
cohesion-- Water molecules stick to each other. adhesion-- Water molecules stick to other molecules. Water is a polar molecule because of oxygen is more electronegative. Hydrogen bonds create surface tension and result it water's cohesive and adhesive properties. Hydrophobic = repel water Hydropholic = affinity for water. ...... hahaha XD
Why does water stick to hand?
water exerts two types of force cohesive and adhesive force.Cohesive force exist between water molecules and adhesive force exist between water and other objects.therefore when our hand is dipped in water the adhesive force overtakes the cohesive force and thus water sticks to hand.Its same as the capillarity principle
What cohesive and adhesive forces draw water from the roots to the different parts of the plants?
Surface tension; Capillary action; and Turgor Pressure.
What is The meniscus composed of?
Meniscus is not composed of anything its a physical properties due to surface tension of liquids. It is dependant on the: cohesive forces - binds similar molecules together. adhesive forces - bind a substance to a surface. Water for example in a glass tube the meniscus is U-shaped, we say, that the adhesive forces between the water and glass are greater, than the cohesive forces between water molecule, but for mercury, the meniscus is curved downward therefore we would say ..... One other thing in narrow tubes the rise of liquids is called capillary action.
Is water cohesive or adhesive?
Cohesive
Is the concrete is adhesive or cohesive?
adhesive
Is carbon cohesive and adhesive?
no
What rhymes with cohesive?
Adhesive, decisive, inconclusive.
What is the difference between water's cohesive and adhesive chemical properties and explain how each property benefits life on earth?
We are not going to do your homework !
Is the interaction between wax paper and water cohesive or adhesive?
This is a cohesive interaction.
Use the word cohesive in a sentence?
The team presented a cohesive plan for the project, demonstrating their strong unity and organization.
If water spreads out on a glass plate is this an example or cohesive or adhesive force?
Both, the water molecules are cohesive to each other, and the outer water molecules are adhesive to the table surface.
What makes water both adhesive and cohesive?
Surface tension does.
Why does water drop spread on glass surface while mercury does not?
Water has stronger adhesive forces than adhesive forses. Mercury on the other hand has stronger cohesive forces than adhesive. cohesive forces hold molecules of the same substance together , vice-versa for adhesive forces
What are some forces that can act when in contact?
cohesive force and Adhesive force
