6 0

Answer:

Cohesion and adhesion of water molecules

Explanation:

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.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Restoring farmlands to wetlands consists of a lot of pro and cons. Firstly, they should consider that wetlands will greatly filter carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gases. Wetlands restoration would probably affect the lives of the nearby human residents negatively. This is due to the fact that wetlands provides an optimal habitat to wild animals especially dangerous carnivores like alligators. The regeneration project will expand the habitats of animals, and clean the water system but it will remove the nutrients from the soil.
