What is the most important force causing net water flow across capillary walls?
The most important force causing net water flow across capillary walls is the hydrostatic pressure of capillary blood. These walls are composed of a single layer of curved cells.
When water is placed in a thin glass tube it tends to climb up the walls of the tube. This effect is known as capillary action. What causes this capillary action?
Hydrogen Bonding

Hydrogen Bonding
Why is capillary action insufficient to move water through a plant?
Capillary action is not sufficient to lift water against gravity after certain height .
Why does the the meniscus in a graduated cylinder filled with water curve downward?
The water is slightly attracted to the glass walls of the cylinder and is to some slight degree climbing up the walls in a form of capillary action (the tube itself can be regarded as a large capillary).
What sentence could you use for the word capillary action?
Water is transferred from the roots to the leaves through the stem by capillary action.
Molecules within the blood are forced out through the walls of capillaries as a result of osmotic pressure?
false- osmotic pressure draws water in capillaries hydrostatic pressure forces water out
Water moves through a plant because of the property of?
capillary action
What is responsible for capillary action of water?
Capillary action is a process powered by adhesion that causes water molecules to move upward through a narrow tube such as the stem of a plant. The adhesive force allows them to attach to the vessel walls.
What is capillary action. Why is capillary action extremely important for plants?
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
How can water go from soil to the top of a tree?
Through capillary mechanism similar to cotton absorbs water
As water is moves down through the ground what force is acting against it?
i dont know
