Why does water roll off the surface of a leaf

Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 298 People

Why does water roll off the surface of a leaf? A. Because water is attracted to nonpolar molecules B. Because water is a nonpolar molecule C. Because plants do not contain cellulose D. Because the leaf is coated in lipid molecules

Answered by admin @


D.) Because the leaf is coated in lipid molecules

A is wrong because water is polar, an example of nonpolar is oil, and everyone knows that oil and water do not mix! Their molecules just aren't attracted to each other.

B is wrong because, like I said, water is polar.

C is wrong because cellulose is one of the most abundant organic compounds on the Earth, and it's a major component of the cell walls in plant cells.
