Question

Which describes a property of water that allows plants to transfer it from their roots to their leaves?
Water exhibits weak adhesion and cohesion, which allows capillary action to occur.
Water exhibits strong adhesion and cohesion, which allows capillary action to occur.
Water has low surface tension, which prevents capillary action from occurring.
Water has high surface tension, which prevents capillary action from occurring.

Answer 1

Water exhibits strong adhesion and cohesion, which allows capillary action to occur.

Cohesion (water–water hydrogen bonding) and adhesion (water–xylem wall attraction) together enable capillary rise and the transpiration pull that moves water from roots to leaves.
