0 1 . 3 The diagram below shows a simple setup demonstrating capillary action. Using this
diagram, explain how the experiment supports the roles of cohesion and adhesion in
water transport in plants.

0 1 . 4 A scientist conducted an experiment to measure the volume of water moved in a
glass tube. The tube had a diameter of 0.8 cm, and water moved 2.0 cm in 90
minutes. Calculate the rate of water movement in cm³ hour ¹ using the formula
πr2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Use π=3.14.
