Will the ascent of sap be possible without the cohesion and adhesion of the water molecules? Explain.

Answers (1)

For the ascent of sap, a lot of factors are considered, such as the pressure of the roots, forces of cohesion and adhesion as well as rate of transpiration and the action of the capillary. Adhesion makes the water molecules stick to a surface while cohesion helps the water molecules to stick together to move as one unit, without these forces, the water molecules will lose their tendency, ability, and agility to seamlessly transport nutrients and move disrupting the ascent of sap.
