Q.

Match List I with List II:

List IList II
A. CohesionI. More attraction in liquid phase
B. AdhesionII. Mutual attraction among water molecules
C. Surface tensionIII. Water loss in liquid phase
D. GuttationIV. Attraction towards polar surfaces

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A

    A – II, B – IV, C – I, D – III

  2. B

    A – IV, B – III, C – II, D – I

  3. C

    A – III, B – I, C – IV, D – II

  4. D

    A – II, B – I, C – IV, D – III

Solution

Cohesion is the mutual attraction among water molecules (A–II). Adhesion is the attraction of water to polar surfaces such as cell walls (B–IV). Surface tension arises from stronger cohesion in the liquid phase than in the gas phase (C–I). Guttation is the exudation of liquid water from leaf hydathodes (D–III).
