Trees use narrow tubes to transport water upward. Which property of water allows the water to rise in these narrow tubes?

Biology

Answer:

C. Cohesion of molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion is the interaction of molecules of the same substance together. By the force of cohesion if two drops of water come together they form one. Water has high rates of cohesion due to hydrogen bonds.  

This phenomenon also called surface tension and is what allows small insects to stand on water.

Cohesion along with adhesion of water to the walls of the narrow tube generate what is called capillarity. This allows liquids to ascend inside the narrow tubes. As long as the cohesion is less than the adhesion, the liquid will rise until both forces are equal.

What is the function of the water monitor lizards claws
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Claws. These strong, curved claws can tear flesh and inflict fearsome wounds. Water Monitors eat only meat and sometimes tackle prey nearly their own size. Claws may allow the Arboreal taxa to physically separate themselves from the larger monitors of the savannah by living in trees, eliminating them as competition and potential predators.

a marine biologist dredges up a small animal from the bottom of the ocean. it is uniformly segmented, with short, stiff appendag
Elden [556K]

Given the characteristics mentioned in the question, the animal must be an annelid.

<h3>What is an annelid?</h3>

Annelids, (Phylum name annelida) segmented worms, characterized by having body cavities (or body coelom), mobile bristles (or setae), and bodies segmented by transverse rings. The body cavity is reduced in leeches, and the bristles are devoid of some specialized morphology, including leeches. An important phylum of invertebrates in the animal kingdom, Annelida, consists of more than 9,000 species divided into three classes: Sea worms (polychaetes) are divided into motile and sedentary or tube-dwelling forms. earthworms (Oligochaeta); and leeches (Hildinea). Annelids are coelomic and tridermal.

General characteristics of annelids are:

  1. They show organization at the organ system level.
  2. Your body is segmented.
  3. They breathe through their body surfaces.
  4. The kidney is an excretory organ. They have well-developed circulatory and digestive systems.
  5. Common names for more familiar annelids include earthworms, sandworms, annelids, bristleworms, and leeches.

Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs both have a length of 5.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Hypotenuse = 7.07 units.

Explanation:

The sides of the right angle triangle are the opposite and adjacent side; which are both equal in this case.

Given the following data;

Opposite = 5 units

Adjacent = 5 units

To find the hypotenuse, we would use the Pythagorean theorem given by the formula;

Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

Hypotenuse² = 5² + 5²

Hypotenuse² = 25 + 25

Hypotenuse² = 50

Hypotenuse = √50

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Hypotenuse = 7.07 units.
