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.

What characteristic promoted the utilization of lipids as the first cell membrane?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:Self-assembly into a simple membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane is the biological membrane that separates the interior of the cell to the exterior of the cell.

The cell membrane is made of lipid by-layer. The first cell membrane was made of lipids. It is so because it has the ability to assemble and form a membrane like structure.

It helps in entry and exit of the substances from inside of the cell to outside and vice versa.
