How do the properties of water allow it to be transported from the roots to leaves?

Biology
1 answer:
Flauer [41]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Water has the property of cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion provides the property of water to get attached with other water molecules and it holds water molecules together, adherence provides the property of stickiness to any surface to the water molecule.

These two properties together allow water molecules to move upwards against gravity. Water moves by capillary action through the water column. Cohesion and adhesion create a pull on the column which transport the water towards the leaves from where they get evaporated.  

This evaporation then causes tension on another water molecule and this tension then pulls another water molecule towards leaves.

What moves lymph through the lymphatic system?
solong [7]

The lymph is moved through the body in its own vessels making a one-way journey from the interstitial spaces to the subclavian veins at the base of the neck. Since the lymphatic system does not have a heart to pump it, its upward movement depends on the motions of the muscle and joint pumps.

What happened to Bryson's heart beat and breathing rate as he pedaled uphill? Why? Please answer
elixir [45]

I am not sure because there may be more context, but here is what I am guessing the answer is.

As Bryson pedaled uphill both his heartbeat and breathing rate increased. His breathing rate increases to provide the body (more specifically, exercising muscles) with oxygen at a higher rate and his heart rate increases to deliver the oxygen (and glucose) to the respiring muscles more efficiently.
