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

Biology
1 answer:
Lisa [10]3 years ago
8 0
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.

Based on thomsons plum pudding model of the atom what did rutherford expect to happen
charle [14.2K]

Rutherford reasoned that if Thomson's model was correct then the mass of the atom was spread out throughout the atom. Rutherford was forced to discard the Plum Pudding model and reasoned that the only way the alpha particles could be deflected backwards was if most of the mass in an atom was concentrated in a nucleus.

_____ in tropical countries will cause many more extinctions per acre than it would in higher latitudes
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The Answer is likely D, none of the above because all of these would cause damage in any area, however, climate change is what deals the most damage to tropics due to the fact that the already hot tropical climate is getting even hotter, which can cause rivers and what not to dry out, whereas though climate change is a big problem around the world, it is least apparent in the southern hemisphere, and not nearly as apparent in the northern hemisphere when you compare it to research in the equatorial region.

(Please note that this answer is more of a matter of my own opinion than anything, and under most circumstances, none of the above would be wrong. Please do not hold it against me if this answer is wrong. If it is wrong, then the answer would probably be A)
