Answer:

D: adhesion and cohesion

Explanation:

Water is a chemical liquid substance with unique properties that are responsible for the way it behaves. Cohesion and Adhesion are two of those properties responsible for the sticky nature of water molecules.

Cohesion is the property that makes a water molecule attracted to another water molecule by forming an hydrogen bond with one another, while adhesion is what makes a water molecule attracted to other substances aside water. These properties makes water sticky to itself (cohesive) and other chemical molecules (adhesive).

What interactions are occurring that allow the water to move against gravity in capillary action? Select three options.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Adhesion and surface tension

Explanation:

Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise or fall in a narrow tube. Two main terms are required to explain capillary action; adhesion and cohesion.

Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of different kinds.

Forces of adhesion causes water to move up in a capillary tube. The water is held as it rises by surface tension forces acting on the circumference of the meniscus. The water keeps rising in the tube until the weight of the water drawn up in the tube balances the surface tension acting at the top column of the water.

The chaparral biome is generally characterized by its terrain.<br><br><br> True or False?
Igoryamba
I believe this would be false. Chaparral biomes can have many different types of terrains. The land in a chaparral biome can be mountainous, rocky, or flat. Chaparral biomes are generally defined by their temperature and climate. They are very hot and dry, and have mild winters and extreme summers. Hope this helps.

Which of the following statements is true?
QveST [7]

Answer:

3- As cells get larger, the volume increases more than the surface area

Explanation:

As a cell develops, it grows larger and extends the cell membrane. Sadly, the volume rises greater than that of the surface area, and therefore the relative surface area usable to transfer resources to a unit cell volume declines gradually.
