Capillary action:

Biology
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]2 years ago
4 0

all of the above

Explanation:

Capillary action is the movement of water up a narrow tube or tiny space. This occurs when the adhesion of water to the particles around is greater than cohesion between them.

Adhesion is the force of attraction between two different particles.

Cohesion is the attractive forces between the same particles.

  • In capillary action, water is able to rise against the force of gravity pulling it to the center.
  • This owes much to the attraction between water and the tiny space in pores pulling it upward.
  • Roots obtain their water by capillary action.
  • Within the tiny pores, water moves upward by adhesion.

Imagine you are the nucleus of a plant or animal cell and have been asked to mentor an organelle that is new to the cell. Take y
Ivan

Hi,

I am Nucleus of the cell. I am the most important part of the cell and i have genetic material that is transferred to the offspring upon reproduction. I also supervise many important processes of cell like synthesis of proteins.

I will take you on the trip of our whole cell where you will be able to meet different organelles and know a little about their roles in cell. Let us meet them one by one:

1) Nucleolus: It is a darkish and roundish structure that resides inside me. Its role is in the synthesis of an important type of RNA called ribosomal RNA.

2) Nuclear membrane: This membrane surrounds me and is contains small pores for the movement of ribosomal RNA and proteins. Due to this surrounding DNA stays inside me and donot leaves me.

3) Golgi Complex: This is like a packaging and storing organelle of cell that processes and packs the proteins and exports them outsise or inside the cell. Their secretions include digestive glands, saliva, oils etc.

4) Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: It consists of several long canals that form a series running throughout the cell and contains ribosomes attached with them. They are the organelles which transport proteins to the golgi complex for their packaging.  

5) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: It has an important role in the detoxification process converting toxic substances into less toxic forms. They are in structure similar to rough endoplasmic reticulum except that they donot have ribosomes attached to them.

6: Centrioles: They are important in the process of cell division and are present in animal cells only.

7:Mitochondria: This is called as power house of the cell because all the processes that convert food into energy take place in this part. You can see it has two membranes outer is smototh while inner forms foldings.

8: Ribosomes and Free Ribosomes- They are freely floating in the cell or attached with endoplasmic reticulum, They have role in protein synthesis.

9: Lysosomes: They have an important function because they remove worn out and old organelles by digesting them. Therefore, they contain good digestive enzymes.

Hope it helps!

Defend this statement: The sun is the driving force behind the water cycle.
polet [3.4K]
Well part of the water cycle is evaporation which come from heat which you get from the sun. When the water evaporates it goes into clouds so then it can rain.

In some plants, phloem cells are connected end-to-end by sieve plates, creating a direct connection between the cytoplasm of phl
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because the sieve plate interconnected like that help in exchange of substances or transport of substances between element cell and it act as a barrier to prevent the sap from been loss when phloem is damaged or cut. The sieve plates form the sieve tube which is the conducting element of the phloem. It is formed from series of elongated cells that are interconnected by perforations in their walls.

Do you think osmosis occurs when a cell is in an isotonic solution explain your reasoning
Bumek [7]
The word isotonic is used to refer to the solutions (two solutions) which have the same osmotic pressure in both sides of the semipermiable membrane. The condition allows the free movement of water across the membrane. However, this does not change the concentration of the solution across the membrane. 

Hence, osmosis may not occur in this condition.
