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

Biology
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago

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.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Osteoclasts are the multinucleate bone cell that are responsible for absorbing bone tissue during healing and growth while osteoblasts are the cell responsbile for formation of new bones.

If there will be greater amount of osteoclasts than osteoblasts than the osteoclasts will allow calcium, present in bones to get dissolve which causes deformity of bones known as Osteoporosis (demineralization of the bones).

<em>Due to this the calcium level will increase in the kidney and can cause kidney stone as well.</em>
