. What is the unique property of water that makes it rise through the

capillary tubes in the roots and stems of plants? Explain.​


Sagot :

Answer:

This is due to molecular forces between water and capillary tubes in plant xylem (transport tissue) — surface tension (from cohesion) and adhesion does work on water molecules, against the force of gravity, causing an upward flow.
