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.

Compression of mortality is the extent to which an organ can preserve essentially normal function despite decreasing cell number
REY [17]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Compression of mortality refers to the reduction over time with regards to the variance of the age of people at death.

The extent to which the organ can help in preserving normal function despite the fact that there's a reduction in the number or cell activity is referred to as compression of morbidity.

When morbidity is compressed, it should be noted that individuals can be expected to live healthier and longer as well.

Therefore, the statement is false
