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.

Match each type of cell junction with its description.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Tight junctions - prevent liquid from seeping between cells

Desmosomes - act as rivets to hold adjacent cells together when epithelial tissue moves

Gap junctions - allow movement of cytosol, ions, and small molecules between animal cells

Plasmodesmata - openings through the cell walls of plant cells that allow adjacent cells to share materials

Explanation:

1) Tight junctions are one of the cell junctions found in animal cells. Tight junctions function to prevent the flow of liquid materials between cells.

2) Desmosomes are another type of cell junctions whose function is to form a connection between two adjacent cells. The structure formed by this connection confers strength upon the tissues involved.

3) Gap junctions are the most commonly found cell junctions found in animal cells that connects adjacent cells allowing the passage of cytosol, ions and other small molecules in them from one adjacent cell to another.

4) Plasmodesmata is a cell junction found in plant cells. They are small openings lying across the cell wall of plant cells whose function is to connect the cells and facilitate the movement of materials from one cell to another.
