PLS HELP IMMA GET YELLED AT Water must travel against the pull of gravity through a plant’s stem to reach its leaves. Which force would best describe the attraction between water molecules and the molecules that make up the inside of a plant stem (CH3OH)?

I said Ho2 since it’s carbonated. It moves up the plant against the force of gravity and hence that water molecules are cohesive meaning (they stick together). So when some are pulled into the lead others follow

Against gravity, is called the transpiration stream

Water rises through xylem vessels due to two key properties of water – cohesion and adhesion

Cohesion:

Cohesion is the force of attraction between two particles of the same substance (e.g. between two water molecules)
Water molecules are polar and can form a type of intermolecular association called a hydrogen bond
This cohesive property causes water molecules to be dragged up the xylem towards the leaves in a continuous stream

Adhesion:

Adhesion is the force of attraction between two particles of different substances (e.g. water molecule and xylem wall)
The xylem wall is also polar and hence can form intermolecular associations with water molecules
As water molecules move up the xylem via capillary action, they pull inward on the xylem walls to generate further tension

The answer is b metal denting

What are the choices?
