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.

Answer: Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed immediately, so it is used to combine ADP with phosphate ions to form ATP molecules. During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. This carbon dioxide can be used by photosynthesizing cells to form new carbohydrates. Also in the process of cellular respiration, oxygen gas is required to serve as an acceptor of electrons. This oxygen gas is identical to the oxygen gas given off in photosynthesis.

A new strain of rice was developed to be resistant to popular weed killers. What could be a negative outcome from the production
asambeis [7]
B. Because of Farm laws that require no seeds to be kept from a harvest, or you are not allowed to have plants of a different genetic make or made by a different company in your field if you didn't buy it, you could have wind carry seeds into opposing fields, and if inspected, you would potentially have to pay a fine for having unauthorized varieties growing in your field. And trying to remove it would be a pain, because you would either have to find a killer that your plants are resistant to, or to find these individually and pluck them, or to spray a killer that would kill all of your plants, but none of these resistant varieties
