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.

State three examples of human activities that could endanger botana curus
statuscvo [17]

Botana curus is a plant that produces curus which is a substance that is used to cure different kind of cancer.

This is an endangered species that cannot be grown in the laboratory. The ability to produce curus in the laboratory is not feasible.

The human activities that could have endangered botana curus is:

Pollution: It lead to slow down the rate of growth of the plant.

Overexploitation: The over use of plant for its medicinal purpose.

Habitat: The natural habitat of the plant has been changed due to various human activities.

A promoter sequence is likely to be (check all that apply):
erica [24]

Answer:

b. orientation dependent

e. located upstream of the gene it controls

Explanation:

Promoter sequences:

These are the sequences present within the DNA on which RNA polymerase binds and start transcription of a gene. These sequences are present directly upstream of transcription initiation site at the 5' end.  

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes both have specific promoter location site which is fixed. So first (a) and Last (f) options of this question are wrong.

This sequence have specific orientation Like TATA box so these are orientation dependent.

These sequences are present directly upstream of transcription initiation site at the 5' end.

Which of the following situations or phrases most accurately describes the citric acid cycle?
Bond [772]

The correct answer is: B) "All roads lead to Rome"

Citric acid cycle also called tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and Krebs cycle is a central process in cellular respiration. Citric acid cycle that connects carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism so “all the roads” from the different metabolic pathways come to this cycle.

Acetyl-CoA which is produced through the oxidation of pyruvate (pyruvate is a product of glycolysis) enters the cycle which then produces reduced electron carriers NADH, FAD2 and energy molecule ATP. These electron carriers will then pass their electrons into the electron transport chain and, through the process of oxidative phosphorylation, will produce more ATP.

How does the above reaction relate to what happens to matter and energy as a tree burns?
vampirchik [111]
Burning is a chemical process by which two atoms or molecules will combine with each other. In burning, the two atoms or molecules will combine and release energy. ... When the molecules combine and release energy, it is released in the form of heat and often light.

In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.

Energy is used to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds form in products. ... The law of conservation of energy states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Whether a chemical reaction absorbs or releases energy, there is no overall change in the amount of energy during the reaction.
