How adhesion cohesion and capillary action all enable water to go from the roots to the top of a tall tree?

Water travels up a tree through small tubes called xylem. As water is released through the leaves of the tree, it creates a negative pressure at the top of the tree. Even though the weight of all the water is dragging it down via gravity, the adhesion and cohesion properties of water create a strong attraction between the water molecules. Another property that helps is capillary action, where the water molecules are more strongly attracted to the walls of the xylem than they are to each other. The height that capillary action can draw water is inversely proportional to the width of the tube, which means that the xylem and stomata can draw water up and incredible distance.

Adhesion and cohesion together enable water molecules to move through narrow tubes against the force of gravity how?
This is called Capillary action.
Whats the difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between two molecules of different substances.cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substances.
Can you wax Formica?
Yes. Formica is sometimes used as a moulding surface in the fibreglass industry, and is always waxed to prevent adhesion, and enable release. On benchtops, it may prevent staining. Try it.
