What BEST defines adhesion.

• Water molecules bonding to each other due to the hydrophobic nature of water.
• Water molecules bonded to other other surfaces due to the transparency of water.
• Water molecules sticking to each other due to the polarity of water.
• Water molecules sticking to other surfaces due to the polarity of water.

Which of the following are transported in phloem - and by what process?

• Sucrose, amino acids, minerals - actively by translocation
• Sucrose, carbonic acids, hormones - actively by transpiration
• Sucrose, amino acids, hormones - actively by translocation
• Sucrose, amino acids, hormones - passively by translocation

Which part of the aphid will reach into which structure in the plant?

• tail piece; phloem
• stylet; xylem
• tail piect; pith
• stylet; phloem

What is the main explanation for the fact that water can cause hydrostatic pressure?

• Because it is incompressible.
• Because it is polar.
• Because it attracts other water molecules.
• Because it exhibits electronegativity.
