How does cohesion and adhesion work in plants?
How does cohesion and adhesion work in plants? Cohesion: When water molecules stick to one another through cohesion, they fill the column in the xylem and act as a huge single molecule of water (like water in a straw). In plants, adhesion forces water up the columns of cells in the xylem and through fine tubes in the cell wall. Do plants use adhesion or cohesion? For plants, adhesion allows for the water to stick to the organic tissues of plants. Cohesion keeps molecules of the same substance together. For plants, cohesion keeps the water molecules together. Why is adhesion...
