What 2 properties of water make capillary action possible?

Biology
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Cohesion; the water molecules attract each other and are responsible for the surface tension of water.

Adhesion; the water molecule is also able to attract other non-water molecules. This allows water to be able to ‘cling’ to the sides of a capillary tube.

The complementary action of these two forces allows water to rise in a narrow capillary tube such as the xylem tissues of plants.

Does social distancing increase or decrease your carbon footprint?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

The carbon footprint is <u>the amount of carbon (in terms of greenhouse gases) being emitted by human activities</u>. In a situation where <u>social distancing is encouraged, human activity would reduce significantly</u>. Very few people will be outside and the causative agents of pollution (anthropogenic) will be significantly reduced. Further, nature would be able to minimize the impacts of pollution when human activities are less than the threshold capacity.

Let's take an example of coronavirus spread globally this year. The social distancing of 2 meters has significantly reduced the number of people going outside. Ultimately, there are fewer automobiles on the roads and a few industries are running. The result is that the air quality index has been significantly improved. For example, in India, people from 300 km away, can see the Himalayan mountain range very clearly (see image attached). This has not happened in decades after modern industrialization.

People with diseases that result in the malabsorption of which nutrient are at risk for a vitamin d deficiency?
grigory [225]

Inadequate dietary vitamin D or its deficiency leads to malabsorption of calcium. Nutritional disorder leads to the rare disease rickets, which causes bones to become soft and bend in children. In adults, vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia, which causes weak bones, bone pain and muscle weakness.

The body needs vitamin D to properly absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet. However, keeping the right quantities of calcium and phosphorus in bones is challenging when vitamin D levels are low.

The two sources of vitamin D are-

  • Natural sunlight
  • Foods such as fish oil, Egg yolk and fatty fishes like salmon and mackerel

There are other disease conditions which lead to poor absorption of vitamin D-

  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Celiac diseases
  • Kidney problems
