Detailed explanation-1: -Cohesion, adhesion and surface tension-keep the water in place.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transpiration driven ascent of xylem sap depends mainly on the following physical properties of water: cohesion, adhesion and surface tension.

Detailed explanation-3: -Upward movement of water against gravity or ascent of sap in plants depends mainly on cohesion and adhesion of water molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution: Physical properties of water that are responsible for the ascent of sap through xylem are cohesion, adhesion and surface tension.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adhesion cohesion and surface tension enable water to make a continuous column of water in the xylem vessels. Thus. water is pulled as a column by the transpiration pull. Was this answer helpful?
