How do different materials affect capillary action?

1 answer:

Hello! Capillary action is the ability of liquids to move upward or downward without the help of gravity through small spaces. Different materials affect capillary action: the more absorbent a material is, the better the capillary action. One example is a paper towel. When you put one side of a paper towel in water, notice how the water moves to the other regions of the paper towel that were not exposed directly to the water. It can even move upward! Plants have the ability of capillary action, as the water from the roots are absorbed and move up to the plant where water is needed. Hope this helps! :)

Why don’t people watch things with very high levels of cellulose

german

Well if you did mean "eat" and not "watch" the answer would be.....Cellulose is a carbohydrate which is present in the plant cells. The cellulose is a polymer with glucose as the monomer units. The monomer units of cellulose is attached by the beta linkages. The cellulose provides structural support to the plant cells by forming micro-tubules. The humans cannot eat the diet rich in cellulose because they lack the enzymes that are needed to digest them. Some animals, such as cows and termites have these enzymes but not the humans. So the answer would be "people cannot digest cellulose".

Under normal conditions, blood sugar levels are controlled within a narrow range by negative feedback. Two hormones are involved

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Sensors or sensory receptors must sense any change in blood glucose levels.

Explanation:

A feedback system includes a receptor, control center, and effector. The receptors serve to sense the deviation from homeostasis and send the nerve impulses or chemical signals to the respective control center. The control center receives input from receptors and sends nerve impulses or chemical signals to the effectors to bring about the desired change to restore homeostasis.

Negative feedback regulation of blood sugar includes sensing the rise or drop in blood sugar levels by sensory receptors. This sensory information is sent to the control center which in turn commands the effectors (pancreas) to secrete insulin or glucagon hormones to lower down or raise the blood glucose levels. Feedback regulation does not work in the absence of any of the components (sensory receptor, control center, and effector).
