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.

Of the choices below, which best describes the effect predation has on the predator/prey organisms involved in the relationship?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. benefit ... harmed

Explanation:

Predation is a type of interaction between two individuals in which one individual gets harmed which is called prey and another organism who is predator gets benefitted.

In predation, the predator kills its prey and consume it to survive. For example, Lion is a predator and deer is the prey so during predation lion kills the deer and consume it so here lions get benefited by consuming deer and deer is harmed as it lost its life.

In which direction does RNA synthesis proceed?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

RNA synthesis proceed in 5' to 3' direction.

Explanation:

The process of formation of RNA molecule from the DNA template is known as transcription. The transcription process is necessary for the gene expression.

The process of RNA synthesis always occur in the 5' to 3' direction. The RNA polymerase moves from the 3' strand and adds the polynucleotide and RNA synthesis in 5' to 3' direction. The anti parallel nature of the nucleotide causes the RNA synthesis in 5' to 3' direction.
