Water moves into and out of cells. In addition to the water, many other essential nutrients must enter the cell in order for the cell to function properly. Which of the followingproperties of water allows for this transport of nutrients?

One of water's most distinctive properties is cohesion—that is, the tendency of water molecules to "stick" to one another. In plants, this cohesion results in columns of water that stretch through the plant's xylem (the vascular tissue responsible for transport of water), from the roots all the way to the leaves
