As water molecules from plant leaves evaporate, they attract the water molecules that are still present in the plant, aiding in the movement of water from the roots up through the stems. The water in a plant is transported from the bottom to the top by the combined effects of transpiration and capillary action.
- Water molecules ascend up the cellulose tubes from the roots to the leaves because they tend to cling together (cohesion) and stick to the walls of tubes (adhesion). The water from the leaves then evaporates, aiding in the root system's ability to absorb additional water. We call this mechanism capillary action.
- Water and minerals travel upward from the roots through the xylem due to a negative water potential gradient created by the evaporation of mesophyll cells in the leaves. Small perforations between vessel elements must be made to reduce gas bubbles in the xylem since they can obstruct water flow in the plant.

The tissue you are referring to here is the xylem, a <u>vascular tissue</u>, whose basic function is to transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
The symbiosis between a Pistol shrimps and gobies is called Mutual symbiosis. <u>In this process both animals benefit. </u>The shrimp creates and maintains a burrow for both the animals to live in, where as the fish offers protection from predators. When outside of their burrow the fish keeps a keen eye to spot any predator around and sends a warning to the goby through flicking of its tail in cases of a predator approaching.
Is a fallacy that consists of a false appeal to the authority of "everyone"; based on the assumption that a course of action should be taken or an idea should be supported because "everyone" is doing it or believes it.
A gateway substance is something that may be menial but could lead to something bigger, an example is weed in the drugs world, weed is not hard to get and is usually a gateway drug to stronger types of drugs and potentially more dangerous
