The water enters the xylem first by osmosis. Water moves from the soil to the root hair cell down a water potential gradient, and to the root cortex cell from a higher water potential to a lower water potential, this process will be repeated until water enters xylem. Because transpiration is occurring in the leaf, water is lost so there is a lower water potential inside the leaf. Osmosis moves water from the xylem to the leaf because the xylem has a higher water potential. Water moves from the xylem to the cells of the leaf. This pulls water up the xylem via cohesion which is the process of water molecules attracting each other and sticking together. Water does not fall down the xylem as here is adhesion which is the process of water molecules sticking to the inside of the xylem.

<span>The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and
rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th
nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical
energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane
separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear,
it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure
when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the
eardrum to come outwards. </span>
Answer:
Type Il cell.
Explanation:
Surfactant may be defined as the chemical that decreases the surface tension between the lungs. Pulmonary surfactant is the thin layer of fluid that increases the efficiency of gas exchange.
Type II alveolar cells of the lungs produces the surfactant. Lipida and proteins are the major constituent of the surfactant produced in the lungs. The surfactatnt is important for maintaining the integrity of alveoli.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
