Water flows up a plant's stem against the force of gravity.In which of the following ways could the movement of water up a plant be modeled? A. Place the tip of a sponge in water dyed with food coloring. Watch how the water moves up the sponge. B. Pour a glass of water on top of a towel that is spread out on a table. C. Place a clear pipe in a small tub of water. Shake the tub back and forth. Watch how the water moves around the pipe. D. Blow through a clear straw in a glass of water. Observe the level of water inside the straw.

Water is able to travel against gravity, from the roots of a plant to the leaves at the top of the plant.Which of the following processes best explains the movement of water in this phenomenon?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A)   Surface tension, when the adhesive forces are stronger than the cohesive forces.ASurface tension, when the adhesive forces are stronger than the cohesive forces.(Choice B)   Capillary action, when adhesive forces are stronger than cohesive forces.BCapillary action, when adhesive forces are stronger than cohesive forces.(Choice C)   Surface tension, which occurs when the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive forces.CSurface tension, which occurs when the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive forces.(Choice D)   Capillary action, which occurs when the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive forces.DCapillary action, which occurs when the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive forces.

Which of the options describe the movement of water through a plant and why? A- The Casparian Strip forces water to enter the cytoplasm before it can enter the xylem, B-water can move across the route by the apoplast pathway because of plasmodesmata between cells, C- water is drawn up by the xylem because of adhesion between water molecules, D- water move by osmosis from a low water potential to a high water potential. This question is from a level biology OCR A

Which of the following describes how water moves through the xylem of a plant?A.In a downward direction through pressure-flow.B.In an upward direction through active transport.C.In a downward direction through capillary action.D.In an upward direction through the force of adhesion.
