(Check all that apply) Check All That Apply The H-bonds in water allow for cohesion. Water pressure builds in roots to drive water up the plant. Exposed water in leaves evaporates into drier air. Water forms a continuous stream from leaf into the root. In addition to water, heat is lost cooling the plant during transpiration.arrow_forward
