Relate the analogy of “tug of war” to a water molecule.
ipn [44]

Answer:

water molecules undergo the 'tug of war' via the cohesion-adhesion theory

Explanation:

In plants specifically, a transpiration stream is formed via osmosis from roots into xylem and travels by the apoplast pathway to the leaves, where the water then evaporates from stomata into the surrounding air along the diffusion gradient. the water loss from the mesophyll cells lowers their water potential therefore water moves in via osmosis by both apoplast and symplast pathway from adjacent cells. water bonded to water= cohesion, water bonded to carbohydrates of xylem walls= adhesion. water is drawn up in tug of war-esc fashion against gravity to replace water evaporated, resulting in cohesion-adhesion theory.
