The Xylem is the tissue in the stem of a plant. Its job is to transport the water up the stem. Explain how this is done
Water is connected to other water (cohesion) and it attached to the Xylem (adhesion/ surface tension) that allows the water to stay connected and continue to move upward.
Water bonding to water is hydrogen bonding and cohesion. What is the bond inside the water molecule itself? ( Hint sharing is involved)
What is Covalent bonding?
