Cohesion refers to the attraction of the molecules for other molecules of the same kind.
00:11
For instance, it refers to the attraction between the water molecules.
00:19
Whereas for adhesion, it refers to the attraction of molecules of a different kind.
00:29
So refers to the interaction between the water molecule and the inner wall of the xylem.
00:40
For this instance, now cohesion and adhesion are important to life as they contribute to the capillary action for plant life.
01:00
Is essential for plant life.
01:03
So, for instance, the adhesion of water to the vessels, to the xylent vessels within the plant, allows the water to travel throughout the plant.
01:25
And cohesion, which refers to the attraction between the water molecules, holds the water together such as a water extract from the soil all the way to the leaves of a plant and this is done against gravity.
01:48
Next we look at the water's ability to dissolve salutes so because of its ability to dissolve salutes a lot of essential substances such as vitamins, salt, amino acids.
02:36
So this consists of the nutrients over here.
02:42
And this enables the transport of these nutrients within our bodies in the blood.
02:53
And also because the cytoplasm, we need the cell, it's also made out of mostly water...
