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:
A) The radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of guard cells causes them to bow outward and open when the stomatal pore when turgid.
Explanation:
Stomata are pores on the surface of leaves that work as valves controlling the gas exchange in plants; they are bordered by a pair of curved guarded cells in charge of opening and closing by increasing or decreasing the stomatal pore area.
Guard cells walls structure consist of a combination of stiff cellulose microfibrils oriented along the circumference of the cells and a softer matrix material which makes it possible for stomata pore to open by increasing water pressure (turgor).
Option B states that when guard cells become turgid, they close the stomata. This is a false statement as we explained before.
Option C states that light (known stimulant for opening stomata) causes guard cells to become flaccid which is also false. Guard cells become turgid in order to open the stomatal pore.
Option A is correct.
Answer: In the light-dependent reactions, energy absorbed by sunlight is stored by two types of energy-carrier molecules: ATP and NADPH. The energy that these molecules carry is stored in a bond that holds a single atom to the molecule. For ATP, it is a phosphate atom, and for NADPH, it is a hydrogen atom.
