What types of material can effect capilary actions

Biology
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]3 years ago
4 0
Capillary action<span> (sometimes </span>capillarity<span>, </span>capillary motion<span>, or </span>wicking<span>) is the ability of a </span>liquid<span> to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like </span>gravity<span>. The effect can be seen in the drawing up of liquids between the hairs of a paint-brush, in a thin tube, in porous materials such as paper and plaster, in some non-porous materials such as sand and liquefied </span>carbon fiber<span>, or in a cell. It occurs because of </span>intermolecular forces<span> between the liquid and surrounding solid surfaces. If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of </span>surface tension<span> (which is caused by </span>cohesion<span> within the liquid) and </span>adhesive forces<span> between the liquid and container wall act to propel the liquid.</span><span>[1]</span>

The data obtained from the meselson–stahl experiment after one generation of replication eliminated the dispersive model of dna
Sedaia [141]
<h2>Given statement is false</h2>

Explanation:

According to dispersive model of DNA replication,DNA molecules are hybrids of parental and daughter DNA;In this model each individual strand is a combination of original and new DNA

Meselson and Stahl did an experiment on DNA replication using E.coli bacteria

  • E.coli was grown in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen,bacteria took up the nitrogen and used to synthesize new biological molecules,including DNA
  • It was grown for many generations,the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labelled with heavy nitrogen
  • Bacteria were then switched to light nitrogen isotope and allowed to grow for several generations
  • They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation
  • This method separates molecules such as DNA into bands by spinning them at high speeds in the presence of another molecule, such as cesium chloride
  • Each DNA produced two DNA molecules each with one new strand and one old strand called semi conservative replication(half of the parental DNA conserved in daughter DNA)
  • Each DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of new strand
  • Hence,dispersive model of DNA was eliminated and semi-conservative model of DNA replication was proved by the above experiment
