How is it possible for water to defy gravity and travel from the roots to the tops of plants? Use the tension-cohesion model to explain your answer.

Tension-Cohesion Model

A theory explaining the movement of water through plants, where water molecules stick together (cohesion) and are pulled up the plant through tension.

Gravity

The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or any other physical body having mass.
