Water molecules adhere to the xylem walls and are carried up by transpirational pull during ascent of sap, which is an essential process for plant life.

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.
How do non living factors affect organisms in a mangrove community?

What are organisms in science?
living things example: Humans are organisms and plants are organisms the opposite is non-living things such as: soil,air,sunlight,and water
What are four properties needed in water for living organisms?
The four properties needed in water for living organisms is peanuts,ice-cream,dog food and shoes.
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 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.
What is a mixture of of water and living cells?
an adhesion

How do non living things affect the organisms?
Abiotic factors (non-living things) affect organisms in many ways. Water, light, gases, temperature and salinity are all non living things but all contibute in the functioning of organisms.

How does dumping waste into water resources affect organisms in the water?
it causes pollution and harms the environment especially the species living in it.
Are there living organisms in pond water?
yes, there are living organisms first known as animalcules.
What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
Is water a living organisms?
No, water is not alive.Water is a liquid and resource but not a living organism.
