• Sieve-tube elements

• Trachieds

• Vessels

• Companion cells

What is it called when water molecules stick to each other?

An example of adhesion is

• Water molecules sticking to each other

• Water molecules sticking to the xylem walls

• Magnets sticking to a fridge

• Gravity pulling water down

When the forces of cohesion and adhesion work together, water can move up the plant against the force of gravity by....

• Phototropism

• Geotropism

• Photosynthesis

• Capillary Action
