As water molecules from plant leaves evaporate, they attract the water molecules that are still present in the plant, aiding in the movement of water from the roots up through the stems. The water in a plant is transported from the bottom to the top by the combined effects of transpiration and capillary action.

  • Water molecules ascend up the cellulose tubes from the roots to the leaves because they tend to cling together (cohesion) and stick to the walls of tubes (adhesion). The water from the leaves then evaporates, aiding in the root system's ability to absorb additional water. We call this mechanism capillary action.
  • Water and minerals travel upward from the roots through the xylem due to a negative water potential gradient created by the evaporation of mesophyll cells in the leaves. Small perforations between vessel elements must be made to reduce gas bubbles in the xylem since they can obstruct water flow in the plant.

If a solution is considered to be basic, which of the following is true about the hydroxide ion concentration?
Anna [14]

The correct answer is option C, the concentration of the hydroxide ion is greater than the concentration of the hydronium ion

Reason -

An acidic solution has an ability to contribute hydrogen ion. Here a hydronium ion (H3O+) has an extra H+ ion along with a water molecule. Thus presence of hydronium ion in larger amount than the hydroxide ion would make the solution acidic. Thus, the concentration of hydroxide ion should be less than the hydronium ion to make the solution a basic solution.

Biotechnology, by the word itself is a technology that is centered in biology. It is the exploitation of biological process. Biotechnology has harness the cellular and bio molecular processes to develop technologies and product that help us elevate our lives. With the help of biotechnology, we are able to modify the products for its specific use. Let me give you an example of the following:

<span>1.    </span>Medicine: In medicine, the modern biotechnology had provided products that could combat rare diseases. Currently, around 250 biotechnology health care products and vaccines were made as well as those that are known to be untreated.

<span>2.    </span>Agriculture: With the help of biotechnology, we can reduce some of the environmental footprint. It has been reported that it is more than 13.3 million farmers used biotechnology products to prevent damage from the yield cause by the pest.

<span>3.    </span>Conservation: Biotechnology also help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
