Water Polarity is reason for waters properties
water forms H-bonds with polar molecules

Properties of water
Cohesion water H-bonded to water
-gt reason for surface tension

Properties of water
Cohesion water H-bonded to water
-gt reason for surface tension
-gt why water can be drawn from roots to leaves

15
Properties of water 1) Cohesion water H-bonded
to water 2) Adhesion water H-bonded to
something else

Properties of water
1) Cohesion water H-bonded to water
2) Adhesion water H-bonded to something else
Cohesion and adhesion are crucial for water
movement in plants!

Properties of water
1) Cohesion water H-bonded to water
2) Adhesion water H-bonded to something else
Cohesion and adhesion are crucial for water
movement in plants!
Surface tension adhesion in mesophyll creates
force that draws water through the plant!

Properties of water
1) Cohesion water H-bonded to water
2) Adhesion water H-bonded to something else
3) high specific heat
absorb heat when break H-bonds cools leaves

Osmosis depends on bulk flow and diffusion!

36
Water movement Osmosis depends on bulk flow and
diffusion! water crosses membranes but other
solutes do not water tries to even its on
each side
