Cohesion has to do with the ability of water to adhere together .
The cohesive properties of water which is occasioned by hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules allow the column of water to move up through the plant irrespective of the force of gravity as water molecules are evaporating at the leaf surface.
The adhesive properties of water, which means, the attraction between the water molecule and the xylem wall also ensure continuity in the movement of the water column in the xylem.
Hence the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules are important for transpiration to occur.
In order to ascertain the total magnification when viewing an image with a compound light microscope, take the power of the objective lens which is at 4x, 10x or 40x and multiply it by the power of the eyepiece which is typically 10x.
Glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide, so carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.
