A

Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.

Explanation:

While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

Why are the ventricles of the heart so much larger than the atria of the heart?
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The ventricles are the part of the heart that are responsible for the pumping action to move blood throughout the body. Therefore, the muscles in the ventricles are much larger and thicker to do their job properly. The atrium only has to pump blood through an open valve (the tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. There is much less resistance to this flow of blood so much less muscle is needed. </span>
