Which statement best describes how water rises up the vascular tissue and through the leaves of a plant? a. osmotic pressure causes water to move upward. b. plant cells use active transport to pump water upward. c. adhesive and cohesive forces allow transpiration to pull water upward. d. hair cells act like tiny oars, and they push water upward.

The answer is C

Transpiration is the loss of water in the leaves. Because of cohesion (sticking to other water molecules), the water that is lost essentially "pulls" more water behind it, which pulls water up through the xylem of the plant. Adhesion (water molecules sticking to other molecules) helps attach the water to the walls of the xylem, preventing it from sliding back down the plant.

I hope that makes sense. If I can clarify or anything just leave a comment.

clumped distribution, because you'de have all of the population gathered in a relatively small are.

it's the most common because it provides protection and a mate for reproduction

example: humans, seeweed, cattles, etc.
