Why the word cohesion and adhesion makes sense that these words should look alike?
They are both derived from the Latin root adhaesionem, meaning "sticking together", and came to English via French.
The prefix "ad-" means "toward", or "in addition to".
The prefix "co-" means "together" or "in common", or is sometimes used as an intensifier as it is here.
They look alike because they are derived from the same root.

How does adhesion and cohesion affect each other?
Adhesion is where water molecules stick to other things, and cohesion is where the water molecules stick to each other. The combination of this makes it so that together, they can climb up things like roots of a tree to give the tree water.
How do cohesion and adhesion work together?
First, the adhesion makes the molecules of water stick to the walls of the plants roots and leaves. Then the cohesion joins the molecules of water together to help them move up the walls of the plants roots and leaves.
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.
What does cohesion mean?
Cohesion is the attraction within a substance or between the parts of a group (as opposed to adhesion which refers to attraction to other substances).The cohesiveness of molecules is what makes rocks and steel hard and makes rubber able to stretch without breaking. The term is also applied to the cohesive nature (holding together) of social groups and communities.
What two properties of water are critical in moving water through xylem?
Water demonstrates adhesion and cohesionThe partial polarity of the water molecule makes it attractive to polar and less-polar surfaces.
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.
The interaction between wax paper and water is it cohesive?
The interaction between wax paper and water is more related to adhesion than cohesion. Water molecules are attracted to the wax molecules in the paper, causing the water to spread out and stick to the surface of the paper. This adhesion is what makes water bead up or stick to wax paper.
What makes water stick to glass?
adhesion
Can water adhere and cohere?
When two things that are alike stick together, they cohere. Water molecules in a cloud cohere to each other forming a droplet of water. More of these droplets cohere to each other forming larger droplets. When the cloud becomes saturated with water droplets it rains. When two (or more) different things stick together, they adhere. When you get caught in a downpour and your clothes gets really wet, the water makes your clothes adhere (stick) to your skin.
What property causes the cohesion of water molecules that moves water through a plant against the force of gravity?
Transporting water molecules up high in tall trees is done with cohesion along with adhesion of water creating a column of water in the xylem(tube) of trees helping push it upward to the leaves up high. This is helped by evaporation.
What is the clinging of one substance to another this makes water a particulary good solvent?
adhesion
