According to the currently accepted cohesion-tension theory, water is pulled there The pull on a rising column of water in a plant results from the evaporation of water at the top of the plant As water is lost from the surface of the leaves, a negative pressure, or tension, is created The evaporated water is replaced by water moving from inside the plant in unbroken columns that extend from the top of a plant to its roots The same forces that create surface tension in any sample of water are responsible for the maintenance of these unbroken columns of water When water is confined in tubes of very small bore, the forces of cohesion (the attraction between water molecules) are so great that the strength of a column of water compares with the strength of a steel wire of the same diameter This cohesive strength permits columns of water to be pulled to great heights without being broken (Adapted from Reading TOEFL 1) Question 35 The passage answers which of the following questions?
