What is the difference between surface tension and capillary action?

Biology
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]3 years ago
5 0
Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.

Why does the temperature increase in the stratosphere
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The increased temperature in this layer is due mainly to UV absorption by various chemical species, including ozone and molecular oxygen present in the stratosphere. Maximum heating takes place in the upper part of the stratosphere. Because of the stable air, pollutant mixing is suppressed within this layer.

How can the axis help you determine the season that is taking place in the northern hemisphere
luda_lava [24]
The axis is an imaginary line going through the earth so the way the earth is "tilted" would tell you,for example, if the northern hemisphere is tilting toward the sun, it will be summer in the northern hemisphere.

During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

<em><u>Glycolysis produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.</u></em>

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an oxidation reaction in which glucose reacts with oxygen molecules and oxidized. By oxidizing glucose, it produces pyruvate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADH). Glycolysis has two phases. In the first phase, 2 ATP molecules are invested for the phosphorylation of glucose to break down into a simpler one. In the second phase of glycolysis, 4 ATP molecules are earned back with 2 NADH and a simpler form of glucose (6C) to pyruvate (3C) by oxidizing glucose.

I'm doing the fresh fruit vs canned fruit experiment and if I prepared the fruit a different way would it effect the gelatin
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

How the gelatin is prepared can affect the result.

Explanation:

To perform this experiment efficiently, you need to prepare the jelly made from fresh fruit and the jelly made from canned fruit equally. That's because if you modify the ways of preparing the gelatins, they will show many differences and you won't be able to tell if this difference was caused only by the nature of the fruits, or by the way of preparation. Therefore, the way the gelatins were prepared can modify the experiment result and leave it imprecise and unreliable.
