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.

What is the relationship between proto-oncogenes and oncogenes? hints what is the relationship between proto-oncogenes and oncog
Elan Coil [88]
Oncogenes result from turning on, or activating proto oncogenes. Proto oncogenes are genes that code for positive cell cycle regulators, so proto oncogenes code for proteins that turn on cell division. Proto oncogenes are normal genes, but when they are mutated, they become oncogenes.  Oncogenes are expressed too much, which makes them  turn on cell division too much, which is cancer.

Explain how bacteria are both helpful and harmful to our bodies.
vovangra [49]

Sample Response:

Bacteria are helpful because they produce oxygen, which our bodies need to breathe, and they help us to digest the food we eat. Bacteria are also helpful because they are used in medicine to help us overcome disease. Bacteria are harmful because they can cause tooth decay and illnesses that can be either common or quite serious.

This is a sample response, so it's 100% correct. Peace!

A sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar. Which of the foll
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: C. The C horizon is very deep.

Horizons are the layers of soil develops as a result of soil formation. Horizon lies parallel to the earth surface. Each horizon differs from the other on the basis of amount or organic matter present, color of the soil, texture of soil and other components making up horizon, and amount and type of minerals present in the soil.

C horizon is the horizon that lies deeper region of the collective soil horizon. It consist of unweathered or partially weathered rocks or their aggregates. Therefore, it retains the original chemical composition of the parent rock. This results in the higher mineral content as compared to other horizons. This horizon also lacks the organic matter as no or very little decomposition activity of plant and animal matter takes place. Therefore, color of soil in this horizon in the absence of organic matter remains light.

Hence, a sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar is because of the fact that the C horizon is very deep.
