Answer:

enable capillarity

Explanation:

It is well known that water tends to adhere to the walls of the vessel in which it is contained. This is due to the force of adhesion which is defined as the force of attraction between unlike molecules. Cohesion is defined as the force of attraction between like molecules. In the case of a plant, cohesion of water molecules in the xylem vessels prevents the water column from breaking. The forces of adhesion, surface tension and cohesion are the basis of capillarity,that is, the rise of liquids in capillary tubes.

Describe the relationship between the age of rock layers and an unconformity

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Laws of stratigraphy help scientists determine the relative ages of rocks. This law states that deeper rock layers are older than layers closer to the surface. An unconformity is a gap in rock layers. They occur where older rock layers eroded completely before new rock layers were deposited.

Explanation:

The study of rock strata is called stratigraphy. The laws of stratigraphy can help scientists understand Earth’s past. The laws of stratigraphy are usually credited to a geologist from Denmark named Nicolas Steno. He lived in the 1600s.

Which physical factor, related to the formation of severe weather, has to do with the amount of water vapor in the air?

lord [1]

Increase in temperature. I am not exactly sure what you're looking for but basically water vapour in the air has to do with evaporation of water from the surroundings so it will definitely have to do with the increase in global temperatures brought by global warming

Water supplies are treated with chlorine to kill pathogens. chlorine reacts well with many other chemicals and bacterial cells b

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Legionella tends to form biofilms and infect other microbial cells as intracellular pathogens.

Explanation:

The Legionella genus of the bacteria is a group of gram-negative bacteria that can cause legionnaires disease.

The Legionella pneumophila is a species of this genus which can cause legion pneumonia. The bacteria lives in the freshwater and is resistant to chemical treatment like chlorine and the biocide treatment.

The reason for this resistance is since this species form a polysaccharide layer around the colony of the bacteria which is resistant to these treatments and also the bacteria prove parasitic to the protozoans which feed on these bacteria.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
