Explain why the grams of the nutrient molecules in a food do not add up to the total gram weight of the food.

When we talk about the gram weight of any food item, it may or may not include the gram weight of its different nutrient molecules. It may have different reasons to it. One of the reasons can be because the nutrient molecule might contain a large percentage or proportion of water. Also, the nutrient molecules might be insoluble or indigestible fiber so it does not add up to the total gram weight of food.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
