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

Biology
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 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.

How do substrate concentration and pH affect enzyme-controlled reactions
Dima020 [189]
For example, pH can have an effect of the state of ionization of acidic or basic amino acids. Acidic amino acids have carboxyl functional groups in their side chains. Basic amino acids have amine functional groups in their side chains. If the state of ionization of amino acids in a protein is altered then the ionic bonds that help to determine the 3-D shape of the protein can be altered. This can lead to altered protein recognition or an enzyme might become inactive.

Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis.

In geneal enzyme have a pH optimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme.

gavmur [86]
The Haploid number is half (haploid cells are sex cells egg and sperm they have half as many chromosomes as the diploid cells which are normal cells ) of the chromosomes so that would be 12. To clarify that if a organism has 12 chromosomes and reproduce sexually it takes two
parents each contributing ether a egg or sperm each egg or sperm contains half of the genetic
