The greatest contribution of root pressure in water transport in plants most likely is that it:

1. pushes water to the top at night
2. pushes water to the top of the plant when the rate of transpiration is low
3. re-establishes the continuous chain of water molecules in the xylem
4. pushes water into the endodermal cells changing the transport from
apoplast to symplast

Cohesion, adhesion and surface tension provide water with a high tensile strength that means that it:
1. is capable of rising in a thin tube
2. has a low specific heat
3. resists a pulling force
4. is a universal polar solvent
