Capillary action is a combination of the adhesive and cohesive properties of water in which the water is able to move up a small tube against the pull of gravity. Therefore, the uptake of food and water is due to capillary action.

Change in climate has nothing to do with adhesion and cohesion in water. Some insects can walk on water due to surface tension, which is due to cohesion. However, there is no movement upward through a tube with surface tension, and so it is not an example of capillary action.

Hope this helps! :)

Which element is most likely to be a nonreactive gas?
aniked [119]

Answer:

Xe

Explanation:

Cs and Na are solids in room temperature while F and Xe are gases.

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom will determine its reactivity. Out of the gases given Xe and F, F ( the most electronegative element) posses 5 valence shell electrons which makes it highly reactive while Xe which is a noble gas posses 8 valence shell electrons which makes it less reactive compared to many elements.

Answer:

Substitution Mutations

Explanation: A substitution mutation occurs when specific bases (A, T, C or G) in a gene are swapped for different ones. This type of mutation doesn't cause a difference in the number of bases like insertion or deletion mutations do. Substitution mutations just switch out one or more bases for different ones.
