Study Notes
Cohesion of Water Molecules
- Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules, caused by hydrogen bonds
- Cohesion contributes to water transport in plants because it helps pull columns of water upwards against gravity
- Adhesion refers to the attraction between different substances, such as water and the walls of plant cells
Cohesion of Water Molecules
- Hydrogen bonds hold water molecules together, a phenomenon called cohesion.
- Cohesion helps the transport of water against gravity in plants.
- Adhesion is an attraction between different substances, for example, water and plant cell walls.
