Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?

• Water is pushed by solutes.
• Capillary action pulls the water molecules like a chain.
• Water is pulled by gravity.
• Water’s cohesion causes it to “pull” towards the leaves.

Attractions between water molecules due to polarity are called:

• Covalent bonds
• Ionic bonds
• Polar bonds
• Hydrogen bonds

What type of molecule is water?

• Polar
• Negative
• Positive
• Universal

What is the property of water that allows it to stick to other surfaces?

• Surface tension
• Cohesion
• Adhesion
• Solubility

Water potential can be defined as

• the ability for water to bond

• the adhesion of water

• the ability for water to move in soil

• water moving through a substance

Soil that is saturated is said to have a water potential of...

• Zero

• Negative

• Positive

In which state of energy will water move?

• high energy to low energy

• low energy to high energy

• high energy to high energy

• low energy to low energy
