For water transport in vascular plants, the cohesive property of water is most important in the

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cohesive property of water is the tendency of water molecules to stick together due to hydrogen bonding. This property allows water to be pulled up through the xylem, a specialized tissue in plants that carries water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. The cohesive forces between water molecules create a continuous column of water in xylem vessels, allowing for efficient water transport from roots to leaves. The other options (A, C, and D) are not primarily involved in water transport through the plant.
