Describe the procedure of water reaching the leaves from the roots of a plant

Biology

Lisa [10]3 years ago

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.

The principle of competitive exclusion means that A) niche subdivision can occur. B) a niche can be shared by two species. C) co
nignag [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When two species share a common niche, then one is bound to exclude the other. This is due to the stiff competition for resources. The species with a slight advantage in acquiring the resources will edge out the other species from the environment. This has been demonstrated by George Gauss using two Paramecium species grown in the same media in the lab. <em> P. aurelia</em> outcompetes <em>P. caudatum</em>

Which of the following is NOT one of the functions of skeletal muscle? Which of the following is NOT one of the functions of ske
Rasek [7]

Answer:

regulation of the diameter of blood vessels and control of blood pressure

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles are the multinucleated muscles with striations and are attached to the bones (skeleton). The main function of skeletal muscles is to generate the voluntary movement of the body or body parts. The skeletal muscles of face, rectum, and urinary bladder generate their voluntary movement as per the will of the organism. On the other hand, blood vessels are lined with smooth muscles with spindle-shaped cells.

For example, the muscles present in the subcutaneous layer of the skin of the face are responsible for various facial expressions. Contraction of these facial muscles brings about the movement of skin of the face to generate a wide variety of emotions. Smooth muscles of blood vessels are involuntary in nature.

Vasodilation and vasoconstriction as brought about by smooth muscles of blood vessels are regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Under the conditions of lower blood pressure, contraction of smooth muscles of blood vessels restore the reduced blood pressure. On the other hand, when the blood pressure rises above the normal range, the smooth muscles of blood vessels relax to dilate them and to lower down the blood pressure.
