Answer:
adhesion
Explanation:
The term used to describe the attraction of water molecules to other molecules is referred to as <u>adhesion</u>.
Generally, adhesion or adhesive forces is a term used to describe the force of attraction between molecules of different substances. This is as opposed to cohesion or cohesive forces which refers to the force of attraction between the molecules of the same substance.
Hence, when molecules of water attract or stick to other molecules, the force at play is an adhesive force or simply adhesion.
While stress is a type of pressure given by force acting per unit area. Strain is the ratio of change in length and total length when stress occurs. Ratio of stress and strain gives Young's Modulus. The curve between stress and stress is linear as long as they are proportional to each other.
Answer:
A concentration gradient occurs when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another. In passive transport, particles will diffuse down a concentration gradient, from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, until they are evenly spaced.
well hope this help at least (good night)
Answer:
A) the concentration of calcium ions in the sarcoplasm of a resting muscle
Explanation:
Sarcoplasmic reticulum is a system of the membranous sac that is present around each myofibril and is filled with calcium ions. When muscles are in the resting stage, calcium ions are stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
As the muscle action potential triggers change in voltage-gated calcium ion channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the channels are opened to release the calcium ions in the sarcoplasm. Increased calcium ion levels in sarcoplasm make the muscle fibers to contract.
Removal of acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft ends the production of muscle action potential and calcium ions are moved back from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Hence, lower levels of calcium ions are maintained in sarcoplasm when the muscles are in the resting stage.
Atoms do differ in their affinity for neutrons, a property called electronegativity. Therefore, true is the correct answer.
