    they're both properties of water. both involve the "sticking" property of H2O. cohesion is "sticking" together (water sticking to water) and adhesios is water

    "sticking" to something else. They are both important to life processes.

    In chemistry, adhesion refers to the tendency of unlike molecules to bond with one another, while cohesion refers to the attractive force between molecules of the same type. Surface tension, which is an essential property of water, illustrates the relationship between adhesion and cohesion.
