Cohesion, adhesion and surface tension are different from each other. Adhesion is used in xylem. Surface tension enables an insect to sit on water.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The force of attraction between the molecules of the same type is called cohesion. The force of attraction between the molecules of different type is called adhesion. Tendency of fluid surfaces to shrink to minimum possible area due to the attraction between the liquid molecules is called surface tension.

Adhesion is used in xylem. In xylem water molecules move from the roots to different parts of the plant through the xylem tubes. The adhesive force between the water molecules and xylem walls make the movement of water possible.

Surface tension enables an insect to sit on the surface of a liquid. Due to surface tension the water surface stretches like a membrane due to the higher attractive force between the water molecules.

trapecia [35]

Answer: (c) It generates ATP, which cells can use to do work.

(d) It generates chemical gradients, which have potential energy.

Explanation:

The overall process of Cellular respiration is the aerobic break down of organic compounds (food) with the release of CO2, water and energy in form of ATP which drives most cellular work.

Organic compound + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP + heat)

In cellular respiration during the break down of food in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, chemical energy (NADH and FADH) are extracted from each cellular process and transported to the electron transport chain built in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The chemical energy harvested from food is transformed into a proton-motive force, a gradient of H+ across the membrane. When this H+ election fall from their gradient via ATP synthase, Chemiosmosis couples this proton motive force to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.

What is one way that fish interact with a coral reef?
Ksivusya [100]

Fishes use the coral reef for shelter during the day as well as food.

<h3>Information related to coral reef</h3>

One way that fish interact with a coral reef is that fish hide within the coral. Coral reefs are an important resource for large-bodied fish in the Caribbean. They use the reef for shelter during the day.

Coral reefs are important ecosystems because coral reefs contain a great diversity of life. The color of coral depends on the type of polyp present. Coral polyps are tiny little animals that can live individually, or in large colonies that comprise a coral reef.

Great Barrier Reef is considered as the largest coral reef on Earth. Coastal land development, silt runoff, water pollution by humans, damage from scuba diving, boating, and fishing are the threats to the health of coral reef.
