Lilit [14]4 years ago

Answer:

Both Cohesion and adhesion play an important role in the upward movement of water through a plant.

Explanation:

Water is absorbed by the roots and transported by xylem tissue to various parts of a plant body such as stem ,leaf .

                  During the transportation of water molecules through the xylem tissue formation of hydrogen bond occur between the water molecules. A single hydrogen bond is weak but collectively they exert a very strong interaction.As a result a water column is established in the xylem tissue. This is called cohesion.

                    Adhesion deals with the interaction of water column with the wall of the xylem tissue.

harina [27]

If hares moved faster and were thus harder for lynx to capture, the rate in the lotka-volterra predator-prey model that would change is the searching efficiency.

Lotka-volterra predator-prey model is a prey-predator model is a first order non linear differential equation that describes about the dynamics of two biological systems where the species interacting will consist of a prey and a predator.

The population of the prey and predator effects the population of each other in various ways. Like when the population of prey will increase it will cause increase in population of predator as well while the inverse is true in case of predator population increase.

When the hares will move faster, lynx searching efficiency will reduce due to difficulty in finding the prey.

In times of stress the sympathetic nervous system stimulates the _____ which then secretes _____.
yawa3891 [41]
In times of stress the sympathetic nervous system stimulates the adrenal medulla which then secretes catecholamines. The catecholamines includes; Dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Catecholamines are made by nerve tissue, the brain, and the adrenal glands. They help the body respond to stress or fright and prepare the body for "fight or flight" reactions.
