The Geocentric theory asserts on the idea that the Earth is the center of the Solar System. The geocentric theory first started with the Greeks, mainly the philosopher Ptolemy in his Ptolemaic system, popular model of this theory. In which Ptolemy suggested that the circular pattern of the whole system shaped and equant –a mid of an epicycle moves at a constant and similar speed. But when Copernicus’ heliocentric model of the solar system came about, this theory was abandoned. As the scientific society has proven that Copernicus theory was more precise with the use of telescopes, and etc. proved that the Sun was indeed the center of the universe. Supported by different space expeditions this model was long forgotten.  <span> </span>

Harman [31]

Explanation:

Cohesive behavior can be explained as a behavior where molecules are attracted to each other.

And this means that,  water molecules are attracted to each  other because of their cohesive behavior. This makes them to be  attracted to other substances, such as the walls of the xylem of plants.

In this case, it is believed that the water molecules behave this  way because they are polar, that is, there is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. And this enables it to move from the roots to the leaves of the plants.
