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.

Answer:
Plants need water and sun to create their food source, glucose. When the plant was left in the closet it didn't have access to the sun. One of the requirements of life is that all living things need energy/have a metabolism. Without food the plant eventually died.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Lithosphere
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Lithosphere is the solid outer part of the earth which includes the brittle upper portion of the crust and the mantle. It is bounded by the asthenosphere below and the atmosphere above.
- <em><u>The pressure in the lithosphere is about 109 gigapascals or GPa. </u></em>
- <em><u>Asthenosphere has a pressure of about 18 GPa</u></em>
- <em><u>The mantle is a layer between the outer core and the crust, it has a pressure of about 149 GPa.</u></em>
Answer:
Decrease in the population of coyote occurs after the reintroduction of the wolf within the Adirondacks effect.
Explanation:
Wolves are the top predator in the ecosystem. They hate coyote and kill them and sometime eat them too. So the reintroduction of the wolf decreases the population of coyote by killing them directly and by consuming the prey and the coyote die due to hunger. Coyote feed on rabbit, snakes, deer, fruits and grasses so decrease in coyote population increases the availability of grasses and other animals for different animals.
