explain how the cohesive and adhesive properties of water are useful in maintaining various life processes.

Water droplets form on plants, allowing the plants to soak up the water over time rather than all at once.

Explanation:

Cohesion and Adhesion are the properties of water which affect the living and non-living on earth.

Cohesion means water is attracted to water.

Adhesion means water is attracted to other living beings.

Water is very cohesive in that it "sticks" to itself. Cohesion is what allows a water droplet to form, for example. When water molecules surround one another, they settle toward a low energy state. For water molecules, they are most stable when they form a ball surrounded by other water molecules. As the molecules "pull" together, the surface tension acts like a casing for the group of water molecules. If it weren't for cohesion, water molecules would behave very differently and we would not expect to see water droplets.

Cohesive and adhesive properties of water impact living things in many ways:

Water droplets form on plants, allowing the plants to soak up the water over time rather than all at once.

Water striders (insects) glide across water surfaces owing to the cohesive property of water.

The cohesive behavior of water can be defined as the interaction of the molecules of the water with other water molecules.

Adhesion can be defined as the interaction of water molecules with other molecules.

Explanation: This property of water helps in the movement of water from the soil into the plants. This is how the plants take water to perform the process of photosynthesis.

The blood and many substances inside the body moves by the process of capillary action.

the answer is the first option

explanation:

just googled it m8. not that hard

lol
