Question

Which of the following properties does NOT play a role in trees growing to towering heights by moving water from roots to leaves? water forming hydrogen bonds with other water molecules water forming hydrogen bonds with other substances like cell walls water absorbing energy to change the state of matter from liquid to gas water absorbing energy in large amounts to increase by a degree of temperature

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

Water absorbing energy in large amounts to increase energy by a degree of temperature

Explanation:

The growth of trees to towering heights has to do with the formation of plant cell walls which are built by the aggregation Glucose molecules to form Cellulose molecules. The cellulose molecules further combines to form microfibrils by forming hydrogen bonding. The microfibrils that combine to make cell walls

Therefore, the growth of a tree is dependent on the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules to enable uptake of water into the plants which enable photosynthetic reaction that result in the formation of glucose

The transpiration, which is the conversion of water into vapor or gas at the leaves facilitates the uptake of more water for the formation of more glucose molecules and creation of hydrogen bonds

The hydrogen bonds between chlorophyll molecules is facilitated by forming hydrogen bond with water molecules.
