Michael puts a thermometer in a jar, closes the top, and then sets it by the window where the Sun is shining through. There is also a thermometer on the
counter outside the jar. Ten minutes later Michael notices that the
temperature on the thermometer inside the jar has risen, but the
thermometer on the counter stayed the same. How is what happened inside
the jar similar to the greenhouse effect? How might it be different?

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
