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.
Answer:
The Answer is gonna be D. There are fewer winds in summer to interfere with drying up puddles
<h2>Given statement is false</h2>
Explanation:
According to dispersive model of DNA replication,DNA molecules are hybrids of parental and daughter DNA;In this model each individual strand is a combination of original and new DNA
Meselson and Stahl did an experiment on DNA replication using E.coli bacteria
- E.coli was grown in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen,bacteria took up the nitrogen and used to synthesize new biological molecules,including DNA
- It was grown for many generations,the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labelled with heavy nitrogen
- Bacteria were then switched to light nitrogen isotope and allowed to grow for several generations
- They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation
- This method separates molecules such as DNA into bands by spinning them at high speeds in the presence of another molecule, such as cesium chloride
- Each DNA produced two DNA molecules each with one new strand and one old strand called semi conservative replication(half of the parental DNA conserved in daughter DNA)
- Each DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of new strand
- Hence,dispersive model of DNA was eliminated and semi-conservative model of DNA replication was proved by the above experiment
Concerns over a global dependence on fossil fuels include environmental, economic, and social consequences.
the answer is True
