In a vertically oriented glass capillary tube, the upward movement of water is due to

#XL - R Botany
  1. The attraction of water to the polar surface of the glass tube (adhesion) and the surface tension of water, which tends to minimize the area of the air–water interface
  2. The upward movement of water is due to the positive hydrostatic pressure(Yp)
  3. The attraction of water to the polar surface of the glass tube (cohesion) and the surface tension of water, which tends to minimize the area of the air–water interface
  4. Gravity (Yg) causes water to move upward
