What property of water can relate to this picture?

• Cohesion

• Density

• Adhesion

• Solvent

Plants and trees couldn't thrive without water. Water goes up into the roots. With the help of adhesion and cohesion, water can work its way all the way up to the branches and leaves.

This kind of event in plants shows what type of property of water?

• Cohesion

• Density

• Capillary action

• Specific heat capacity

What type of bonding shows in the animation?

• Ionic Bonding

• Metal Bonding

• Covalent Bonding

• Liquid Bonding

Which of the following is an example of COHESION?

• water sticking to water

• water sticking to glass

• oil sticking to plastic

• hydrogen sticking to oxygen

Water in a cup will help prevent the cup from burning up over a flame due to this property of water

• high specific heat

• capillary action

• surface tension

Capillary action is when water moves up a thin tube such as the xylem in plants or chromatography paper pulls water upwards against gravity. This phenomena is due to.....

• adhesion

• cohesion

• a combination of adhesion and cohesion

• surface tension

Answer explanation

Capillary action is when the water molecules stick to each other (cohesion) then stick to the side of the vessel (adhesion). Like Kuzco and Pacha in the Emperor's New Groove!
