Question:
Attraction of water molecules to polar surfaces in tracheary elements:
Attraction of water molecules to polar surfaces in tracheary elements:
Show Hint
Remember: Adhesion sticks water to surfaces; cohesion keeps water molecules together. Both are essential in water transport in plants.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Explanation: Adhesion refers to the attraction between water molecules and polar surfaces, such as the walls of xylem vessels (tracheary elements). This helps in upward movement of water along with cohesion forces among water molecules.
