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! :)

The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.
