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

1 answer:

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.

If a Killer whale is feeding at the fourth trophic level, how much phytoplankton mass is required to add each gram of new mass t

Ksivusya [100]

In order to add one gram of mass, the whale must consume a sufficient amount of energy. The energy transferred to the fourth trophic level is 0.1⁴ = 0.0001
We divide the mass to be gained by the energy obtained per unit mass, to find the total mass to be eaten:
1 / 0.0001 = 10,000 grams of phytoplankton must be consumed to add one gram of mass.
