Which of the following effects is produced by the cohesive properties of water molecules? Lakes do not freeze solid in winter, even at below freezing temperatures. Evaporation of water from a leaf's surface lowers the temperature of the leaf. Water flows upward from a plant's roots to the leaves in narrow tubes. Cells resist temperature changes, even as their internal processes give off heat.

Answer:

Explanation:

cohesive property of water molecules produce surface tension which helps water flow upward from a plant's roots to leaves in narrow tube . The narrower the tube , the higher the water level rises.

Lakes do not freeze in winter because water starts reducing its density below 4 degree centigrade so it starts floating on the surface in the form of ice or ice chilled water and blocks the evolution of heat from within the lake.

Evaporation from surface of leaf keeps the plants cool by the process of absorption of latent heat of vaporization from leaves which is very high for water. Water has maximum latent heat of vaporization.  

Cells resist temperature changes because enzymes which are necessary for metabolic activity  are active only within a temperature range.
