What interactions are occurring that allow the water to move against gravity in capillary action? Select three options.

Biology
1 answer:
solniwko [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Adhesion and surface tension

Explanation:

Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise or fall in a narrow tube. Two main terms are required to explain capillary action; adhesion and cohesion.

Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind while adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of different kinds.

Forces of adhesion causes water to move up in a capillary tube. The water is held as it rises by surface tension forces acting on the circumference of the meniscus. The water keeps rising in the tube until the weight of the water drawn up in the tube balances the surface tension acting at the top column of the water.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The pair of terms whose relationship is very similar to the relationship between catabolism and anabolism are exergonic and endergonic.

Explanation:

Anabolism and catabolism are processes that occur in matabolism, whose result is different.

  • <u><em>Anabolism </em></u><em>involves all the processes of manufacture or synthesis, in which chemicals are bound together to form new compounds. This process consumes energy, so it is called </em><em>endergonic</em><em>. </em>
  • <u><em>Catabolism</em></u><em>, unlike anabolism, is the process of degradation of complex molecules into simple molecules. One of the results of catabolism is the release of energy, which is equivalent to saying that it is an </em><em>exergonic</em><em> process. </em>

Relating catabolism to anabolism is similar to relating exergonics to endergonics.

  <em>  The other terms do not represent a similarity with the relationship between the processes of catabolism and anabolism.</em>

Recent photographs of the planet Mars reveal deposits that suggest the former presence of liquid water. How does this compare wi
kolezko [41]

Answer with Explanation:

Let's start first with water on the Earth's moon. This is called "lunar water."

The moon was thought to be barren by scientists long time ago. However, they found out that there are actually <em>water reserves located in the shadowed craters.</em> It is said that the formation of this water was possible with the existence of <u>Oxygen atoms in the lunar rocks and minerals. </u>Due to the <u>solar wind</u> that blew into the place, <u>the Hydrogen ions from the wind combined with the Oxygen in order to form water.</u> So, the water that is found here is relatively fresh.

Let's go to "water on Mars." This is said to be <em>more older than the water on the moon</em> and is actually not that pure for it consists of some mixtures of rocks. It is said that billions of years ago, Mars had an abundant supply of water, but due to climate change, the supply didn't last long. As a result, the planet dried out and only the areas in the polar and mid-latitude regions have water<em> (in the form of ice).</em> This ice melts and refreezes, depending on the temperature. This is an evidence that people may possibly live on Mars.

Which of these are NOT abiotic?<br> temperature<br> iube<br> water<br> rocks<br> plants
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Plants

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are things in an ecosystem or environment that are not alive.

Temperature, water and rocks are all not living, so they are abiotic factors.

Biotic factors are living things, like animals.

Plants are alive, so they are biotic factors.

Plants are not abiotic, so the correct answer is plants.

Explain how it is possible for a compound to have both ionic and covalent bonds
pishuonlain [190]
Basically ionic bonds can be formed between a metal atom and something called a radical ion. The radical ion could have covalent bonds within themselves, for example, CO3- is a radical ion.

Xelga [282]
<h2>c.is the correct option</h2>

Explanation:

Fungi might assist in seed germination by providing the embryos with some of the organic nutrients the fungi have absorbed

  • Fungi is an eukaryote which digests food externally and absorbs nutrients directly through its cell walls
  • Fungi absorb nutrients through following three ways:
  • By decomposing dead organic matter: obtains its nutrients from non-living organic matter, usually dead and decaying plant or animal matter, by absorbing soluble organic compounds
  • By feeding on living hosts:fungi live in or on other organisms and get their nutrients from their host
  • Living mutualistically with other organisms: mutualistic fungi live harmlessly with other living organisms;fungal component absorb water and minerals and provide them to algal component which uses them to make food

In dark,moist environment nutrient availability is less hence fungi helps in providing orchid seeds the nutrients which it has absorbed
