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.

2) Explain what a target cell/tissue/organ is with respect to the endocrine system.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The specific distant organ which is affected by a specific hormone secreted by a  endocrine gland is called the target organ. For example, oxytocin secreted by the posterior pituitary affects the contraction of the walls of uterus resulting in parturition. Here, the uterine wall is the target organ.

Explanation:

  • Endocrine system is a system of ductless glads that secrete and pour chemical messengers into the blood and control various metabolic activities of the body.
  • Hormones are  signal molecule that are produced by endocrine gland and are directly poured into the blood.
  • According to current scientific definition : Hormones are  low molecular weight, chemically heterogeneous non-nutrient substances which produced in trace amounts and act as inter-cellular signal molecules.
  • Even though blood distributes hormones throughout the body, only specific target cell can  respond to each hormone because only the target cell have receptors for binding with particular hormone.
