How do the properties of water contribute to transpiration

Biology

Answer:

Cohesion and adhesion of water molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion has to do with the ability of water to adhere together .

The cohesive properties of water which is occasioned by hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules allow the column of water to move up through the plant irrespective of the force of gravity as water molecules are evaporating at the leaf surface.

The adhesive properties of water, which means, the attraction between the water molecule and the xylem wall also ensure continuity in the movement of the water column in the xylem.

Hence the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules are important for transpiration to occur.

In fermentation, which step of cellular respiration is being accomplished?
Annette [7]
The process that occurs in a cell when there is not enough oxygen is called fermentation. Fermentation occurs through the process of Anaerobic Respiration, where instead of using oxygen, organic and inorganic molecules are used as final electron acceptors. The by-product of this process is usually alcohol, ethanol, or acetic acids.
<span>
Fermentation is commonly used in lactic acid (in muscles) and alcohol (beers, whiskey) fermentation where the by-product is ethanol. Yeasts are a common organism that uses this process, where it convert sugars into alcohols or acetic acids.</span>

Name four factors that affect population growth then explain how each factor contributes to population growth
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Contraceptive Education/Availability, Healthcare, Country Development, and Political Climate

Explanation:

When people are educated about proper contraceptive use they can still have sex without the consequence of pregnancy. The availability of contraceptives goes hand in hand with contraceptive education.

Advanced healthcare can help prevent disease through immunizations and further the life expectancy of the country's population. Hand washing can significantly lower the spread of disease.

The lower the development of a country the higher the birth rate is, while the higher the developed countries have a lower birth rate and their life expectancy is much longer.

The political climate of a country can greatly affect the population growth. The more negative the political climate is usually causes a smaller birth rate. For example when China implemented the one child policy their population growth declined;.

Evolution creates not the best solution but the most available. Building on your answer to the previous question what does this
Greeley [361]

This statement means that evolution has happened by getting the genes of the  right trait expressed at the right time to help adaptability.

Explanation:

Evolution is a result of natural selection which emphasize on the survival of the fittest. But the occurrence of this trait has been possible with genetic variation. It means that if the genes for the particular feature is not present in the genome how would it occur and adapt to the environment. Thus, evolution promotes the most available option for the adaptation and hence for natural selection.

We can conclude that all features are not adaptable some are the results of genetic drift or mutations.

In case of cheetah,  the faster running genes would have been there they got expressed over the period of time for better adaptability.

Explain how mutations can alter a DNA strand and ultimately a protein structure. Make sure to include point mutation, frameshift
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:
