Explanation:

Since, a water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. As difference in the electronegativities of both these atoms leads to the formation of a partial positive charge on hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

As cohesion is a property of molecules of water or a substance to stick together with each other.

Whereas adhesion is a property of molecules of a substance to stick with molecules of another substance.

Since, water molecules are able to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Hence, they have strong cohesive forces.

And, as water molecules are able to stick to the walls of a container. Therefore, they also tend to show a property of adhesion.

Thus, we can conclude that water molecules are polar, having partially polar and partially negative ends est describes that water molecules exhibit properties such as cohesive and adhesive behavior.

It is due to the fact that water is a polar molecule. The hydrogens in one molecule of water will attract to the oxygens of another water molecule.

Phoenix [80]

Allergic responses to inhaled antigens occur when an individual is first sensitized to the antigen (i.e., the allergen), inducing an immune response and then has a subsequent exposure to the same antigen. The sensitization phase is characterized by <u>Induction of a CD4 T cell type II immune response</u>.

The process by which your body becomes sensitive to a particular substance is called sensitization. When your immune system becomes sensitized to an allergen, you can develop certain symptoms.

Antigens that can induce an allergic response are called allergens, and they are often derived from non-infectious or non-microbial sources.

Which of the following lists includes only components that provide structural support, allow movement, or enable communication b
Deffense [45]

The provided question is incomplete as the options are not given, however on the general knowledge the answer is given:

Answer:

The correct answer is - cytoskeleton, plant cell wall, plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is the component that helps in the provided different functions in an organism such as maintaining cell shape, cell signaling by filament systems regulation, and facilitate movement and support.

The plant cell wall also helps in providing the cell to maintain its shape and offers the structural support and cell to cell communication is done by the plasmodesmata that also helps in the movement of the small molecules to transfer from one to another.

The plasma membrane has specific receptors present on them that help in the cell signaling, plasma membrane is semi-permeable and so are able to transport the molecules selectively or with the help of transport protein.

Thus, the correct answer is - cytoskeleton, plant cell wall, plasma membrane.
