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! :)

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

pigs

Explanation:

Influenza is an infectious disease caused by influenza viruses, which can be divided into four types A, B, C and D. In humans, influenza A and B viruses are known to cause epidemics, while A viruses are known to cause pandemics. Influenza viruses are also found in birds and mammals (e.g., dogs, cats,  cattle pigs and horses). Cross-species virus transmission refers to the transmission process of infectious viruses between hosts from different species. Several viruses that may cause severe diseases in humans have originated from animal species, e.g., avian influenza A virus that can be transmitted to humans through an intermediate host (e.g., pigs). Other examples of cross-species virus transmission include the Ebola virus and Hantaviruses. It has been suggested that cross-species transmission is a common phenomenon in rapidly evolving viruses.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Tissue

Explanation:

A cell is a structure formed during the evolution which contained all the molecules and favourable conditions required to survive and therefore acts as the functional and structural unit of life.

In evolution, more than one cell aggregated together to form a structure which could perform much complex function than a single cell called tissue as they are programmed to perform the same function.

In the given question, since the heart cells worked together to cause movement in the robot therefore the cardiac cells formed cardiac tissue or heart.

Thus, the tissue is the correct answer.
