Adhesive force

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The movement of water through the xylem is facilitated by three main physical forces:$1$. Cohesion: The mutual attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding.$2$. Adhesion: The attraction of water molecules to polar surfaces,such as the cellulose walls of the xylem vessels.$3$. Surface Tension: Water molecules are more attracted to each other in the liquid phase than to water in the gas phase.Therefore,the attraction between water molecules and the walls of the xylem vessels is specifically known as the adhesive force.
