Entry of water into root hair is the demonstration of which of the following process?
Will the ascent of sap be possible without the cohesion and adhesion of the water molecules? Explain.
Water molecule is very polar. Polar end of molecule attracts opposite charges on another water molecule (acts like magnet). How will you explain this property of water with reference to upward movement of water? Comment on the upward movement of water given the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in water.
