The causitive agent of the cohesion-tension model of xylem transport is transpiration. During the process of transpiration, water vapor is lost from the stomata of the leaf. To replace this water, water from adjacent cells is withdrawn. The water molecules stick together due to cohesion and are transported upwards through the stem in the form of a stream.<span />
A cells relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions are called Homeostasis.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question is: the level of liquid in Side A will rise.
Explanation:
- Sucrose is formed of two molecules of glucose but the membrane is impermeable to it.
- The given membrane is said to be permeable to water and glucose.
- Through a semi-permeable membrane, molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to another region where its concentration is low by the process of diffusion until its concentration in the two regions becomes equal. This phenomenon is known as Osmosis.
- Concentration gradient of a molecule can be defined as the difference in the concentration of the molecule in two different regions separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
- Considering glucose, the concentration of glucose is low in side A (1M) and high in side B (2M), so it will tend to move from side B to side A down its concentration gradient.
- Considering sucrose, although its concentration is high in side A (2M) but low in side B (1M), it is unable to move as the membrane is impermeable to it.
- Water tend to move from a region where the concentration of solute is low (or water concentration is high) to a region where the concentration of solute is high (or water concentration is low).
- Due to the movement of glucose from side B to side A, the concentration of total solute concentration becomes high in side A as compared to side B. Therefore, water would move from side B to side A.
- Hence the level of liquid in Side A will rise after sometime.
Photosynthesis reverses the biochemical pathways of respiration.
Answer:
The important events of light reaction are (i) Excitation of chlorophyll molecule to emit a pair of electrons and use of their energy in the formation of ATP from ADP + Pi. This process is called photophosphorylation. Splitting of water molecule (a) (b) End products of light reaction are NADPH and ATP.
