The basic protein of hair is the keratin. Keratin is a fibrous protein which is insoluble in water. Fibrous proteins are long and narrow strands. Keratin molecules are held by hydrogen bonds, giving hair its structure.

Hydrogens bonds are easily broken and formed; [for example straightening curly hairs. Hydrogen bonds are broken when heated, hairs are straightened, the hydrogen bonds form again holding its stucture (straight) unless water is applied which disrupt the hydrogen bonds.]

Hope it helped!

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

In case of plants surface tension help to support the transpiration pull.

Explanation:

Surface tension is a force that hold the molecules in the surface to minimize the surface area.

   During evaporation of excess amount of water from the stomata of leaves of plants by transpiration a surface tension is generated.

   The generated surface tension helps to maintain the water column within the xylem tissue by the absorption of water from the soil by the roots.
