2023 Transport in PlantsWater Movement up a Plant – Properties of Water Easy Question 1 of 2 in Water Movement up a Plant – Properties of Water

Match List-I with List-II

Column I

  • A. Cohesion
  • B. Adhesion
  • C. Surface tension
  • D. Guttation

Column II

  • I. More attraction in liquid phase
  • II. Mutual attraction among water molecules
  • III. Water loss in liquid phase
  • IV. Attraction towards polar surfaces

Correct answer: A → II, B → IV, C → I, D → III

Solution

Cohesion is mutual attraction of water molecules and adhesion is attraction to polar surfaces.

Cohesion: Mutual attraction between water molecules. Adhesion: Attraction of water molecules to polar surfaces. Surface Tension: Water molecules are attracted to each other in the liquid phase more than to water in the gas phase. Guttation: Water loss in its liquid phase near the tip of grass blades.

Concept cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, guttation
