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.

Adhesion allows for water molecules to stick to other molecules.
This is useful in plants for it allows for them to suck water out of the ground and up to higher parts of the plant. and i suck monkey balls.

Which property of water explains why coastal area of land have more constant temperature than inland areas?
Heat Capacity
Which property of water explains why seawater contains over 20 different elements?
Its not Universal Solvent its actually High heat capacity
What is the name for the property of water in which it sticks to other?
cohesion causes water to adhere to itself. Adhesion causes water to adhere to other things. These two properties together allow for the "wick effect" a.k.a. capillary effect of water where water will actually climb tube.
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.
Which property of water allows it to dissolve important biological ions?
cohesion
What property causes water to curve?
I believe it is cohesion or adhesion.
What special property of water allows you to drink liquids with a straw?
cohesion and adhesion
What property of water allows it to stick to a dry surface such as a wooden countertop?
Adhesion is what allows water to stick.
What property of water makes it move upward from the roots?
because of water's cohesion property, which is its ability to stick to itself and it adhesion property, which mean that water can stick to other material, it can travel upward in a plant. also, the plant's tube is very small, which allow water to overcome gravity and travel upward.
What property of water enables it to move up a column and keeps it from breaking apart?
cohesion and adhesion
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.
Describe adhesion in water?
Water has many properties, such as the properties of adhesion and cohesion. Water's adhesive property is that it wants to stick to other objects such as a table, or the inside of the xylem tube, in plants.
Which of the following explains most specifically the attraction of water molecules to one another?
The property of adhesion explains waters interactions with itself and surroundings.
What property of water allows water molecules to stick together?
The property is cohesion. Cohesion among water molecules at the water's surface produces surface tension.
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.
A stalk of celery is placed in a solution of blue colored dye After one hour the leaves have blue fluid in their veins Which property of water is being demonstrated?
Adhesion and Cohesion
How are cohesion and adhesion similar?
they're both properties of water. both involve the "sticking" property of H2O . cohesion is "sticking" together (water sticking to water) and adhesios is water "sticking" to something else. They are both important to life processes
