Answer:

The force of attraction between two different molecules

Explanation:

A great example of this is transport of water in plants.

As the water molecules travel up the xylem, there are forces of adhesion and cohesion that are present.

Cohesion is the force of attraction due to hydrogen bonds, of the water molecules to each other. Between one water molecule and another water molecule.

Adhesion is the force of attraction due to hydrogen bonds, of the water molecules being attracted to another object or surface, in this case, the wall of the xylem.

Can someone explain the process of RNA editing?

Talja [164]

The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:Substitution editing and Insertion/deletion editing.

Substitution editing is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.Thus a CAG codon (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

*Insertion/deletion editing is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.

What is the process in which cells obtain energy without using oxygen?

Sedaia [141]

Fermentation is the process that releases energy without using oxygen . In cellular respiration, anaerobic fermentation contrasts with aerobic cell respiration. Both processes convert glucose from food into adenosine triphosphate for energy for cells.
