How does the water get to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity?

Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Transcription, mRNA (processing, transport, localization and stability), translation.

Explanation:

  • Transcription is regulated in two levels, though chromatin regulation (methylation and acetylation) to loose or increase histone's affinity to DNA and through cis and trans elements such as promoters, enhancers, and silencers (cis) to active/deactivate and RNA polymerase and transcription factors and co-factors (trans).
  • mRNA can be regulated using poly-A tails or 5'-caps to shorten or give them more time before they degrade, it could also be spliced to eliminate introns.
  • In the translation stage, the regulation occurs during the initiation through a scanning procedure that ensures the 40s ribosomal subunit bind correctly to the untranslated portion of RNA
