Use the drop-down menus to match each part of the scenario to the correct scientific practice. Kiran records the height of each plant―those with a colored filter and those without.

Kiran explores the growth of a plant in natural light, then repeats the experiment with the same plant type but different colored filters.

Kiran turns in a written lab report to her science teacher.

Kiran wonders, “Will colored light affect the growth of a plant?”

Kiran writes in her notes that adding a colored filter over a plant affects its growth because the heights of the plants under the colored filters were less than the height of the plant with no filter.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
