Answer:
enable capillarity
Explanation:
It is well known that water tends to adhere to the walls of the vessel in which it is contained. This is due to the force of adhesion which is defined as the force of attraction between unlike molecules. Cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between like molecules. In the case of a plant, cohesion of water molecules in the xylem vessels prevents the water column from breaking. The forces of adhesion, surface tension and cohesion are the basis of capillarity,that is, the rise of liquids in capillary tubes.
Answer: True
Explanation:
If this was false, life on Earth would be much more chaotic

There are two types of alveolar cells. The type I alveolar cells which lines the alveoli and much more abundant than type II alveolar cells. Then the type II alveolar cells lesser in number but functions differently than type I alveolar cells. Type II alveolar cells secrete surfactant (composed of lecitin and sphingomyelin) for the lungs. Surfactant reduces the surface tension inside the alveoli, preventing alveolar consolidation. This is important as babies with dysfunctional type II alveolar cells (usually preterm babies less than 32 weeks age of gestation) will have respiratory distress syndrome in the absence of surfactant.
Answer:
Foreshocks
"Foreshock" and "aftershock" are relative terms. Foreshocks are earthquakes that precede larger earthquakes in the same location. An earthquake cannot be identified as a foreshock until after a larger earthquake in the same area occurs.
Answer:
Organs
Explanation:
An organ is two or more tissues working together to perform a specialized function (job).
