A root of a cotton plant must overcome various potential forces such as gravitational forces that pulls water downward, matric forces where there is an adhesion of water molecules from a soil and osmotic forces where attracting water in the presence of large amount of soluble salts in the mixture of soil.

If the soil were compacted by a heavy vehicle, the matric forces would be mostly affected for compaction will result to increase matric forces due to reduced size of pores of the soil making it more difficult to draw water from a solid surface.

Studies suggest that the incidence of colon cancer may be lowered with high fiber diets. how might this be explained?
Triss [41]

The increase in the high fiber diet reduces the risk of colon cancer is suggested by the researchers. The effect of high fiber dietary intake add bulk to the digestive system. It also reduces the time required by the food to travel from the colon. Our food often contains some carcinogenic contents, so the interaction of such carcinogens may also be reduced due to the high fiber diet and also reduces the risk of intestinal tract. The bacteria in the lower intestine breaks the fibers into butyrate, which inhibits the growth of tumors of the colon and rectum.

A stimulus, the cockroach is sensed by your eyes.
Your eyes transmit nerve impulses from the optic nerve, the a group of sensory neurons, to the brain, the central nervous system.

In the brain, the impulse is then transferred by relay / association neurons to the motor neurons which signals the effector which is the muscle in your legs to contract, making you jump in shock
