Describe the role of plants in the movement of water through the water cycle. a) plants act as a water reservoir by absorbing water and holding it in plant cells. b) plants absorb water and release back into the atmosphere through transpiration. c) plants cause water to condense into the atmosphere and form clouds. d) plants absorb water and use the water for photosynthesis.

The correct answer is option B) Plants absorb water and release back into the atmosphere through transpiration.

The plants absorb the water from the soil through the roots. this water is transferred over all the parts of the plants. The plants regulate the amount of the water in the cells and lose the water through the transpiration. the transpiration causes the transfer of the water present in the soil to the atmosphere. This atmospheric water forms the cloud and result in precipitation.

yes? sounds right, but you didn’t ask a question.

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.
