Which of the following properties of water enables it to move from the roots to the leaves of a plant?

it expands as it freezes.
it is an excellent solvent.
it exhibits cohesive behavior.
it is able to moderate temperature.

Answer is C: water exhibits cohesive properties.

Explanation:

Water exhibits both cohesive and adhesive properties. Cohesion is the attractive forces between same kind of molecules i.e between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding. Cohesion is responsible for the surface tension of water. Adhesion is the attractive forces between different kind of molecules. Its responsible for the capillary action of water. These forces are very important feature of water because it helps in the movement of water upwards towards the leaf from the roots.

the potatoes have high sugar concentrations and although these potatoes were different we could seethe effects that their sugar concentrations had in different environments. for example, the potatoes in sample a, were placed in pure water. this created a hypertonic environment and caused the potatoes to draw in water from its surroundings. we saw the opposite happen with the potatoes in sample b when placed in the sodium chloride solution. the potatoes in this case were in a hypotonic solution and therefore lost water to their surroundings.
