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.

What fronts move from the south to the north

dezoksy [38]

A warm fronts move from the south to the north

Explanation:

A warm front are formed when a warm mass of air is pushed into a cold air mass. Since the warm air mass at surface rises above the cold mass of air they often causes stormy weathers. Also due the difficulty of warm air in pushing the cold dense air across the surface of the earth make the warm fronts to move slower when compared to cold fronts. Unstable air produces thunderstorms around the warm fronts. solid red line with red, filled-in semicircles is used to represent a warm front on the map.

Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of animals and the cell wall of plants. Consider their functions and the types of

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring of same betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen bonds give bundles of strong tensile strength of cellulose called the microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are held together in bundled called fibers.These is the source of plant cell walls strength.

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form triple helix.The bonds holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS. This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The EM,is futher reinforced with carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which aided in water movements by osmosis following sodium movements into the matrix.
