Roots and leaves
The major driving force of water uptake in a large tree is transpiration.Transpiration is the process by which plants absorb water through the roots and release it as water vapor through the pores in their leaves. Once this water evaporates, a negative water vapor pressure is created or develops in the surrounding cells of the leaf. when this happens, water is pulled into the leaf from the vascular system, the xylem, to replace the water that has been transpired from the leaf.This pulling of water, or tension, that occurs in the leaf, will extend through the rest of the xylem column of the tree right into the xylem of the roots as result of the cohesive force holding the water molecules along the sides of the xylem tubing.The xylem is a continuous water column extending from the roots to the leaves.<span>Finally, the negative water pressure that occurs even to the roots will result in an increase of water uptake from the soil.</span>
I would say A.
B and C can be eliminated because they have to do with using resources more efficiently. Now we're down to A and D, and of the two, I'd say A is most plausible. Globalization is the connection of the world with each other. With all this technology, companies see endless possibilities to sell their products. They use more and more natural resources, which can deplete those resources quickly.
Answer:
Although metamorphic rocks typically form deep in the planet's crust, they are often exposed on the surface of the Earth. This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them. At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment.
Explanation:
Answer: The model, which is air tight, represents the thorax, and air is only able to enter via the glass tube which represents the trachea.
As the rubber sheet is pulled down the volume of the jar increases, the pressure therefore decreases and air is drawn in through the glass tube inflating the balloons, which represent the lungs.
There are a number of similarities and differences between the model and the actual respiratory system.
Glass tube/tracheaAllows air to pass through, splits into twoGlass is rigid and inflexible unlike the cartilage bound trachea
Bell jar/chest cavityAir tightUnable to move, the ribs can move up and out to increase the volume of the thorax
Balloons/lungsCan inflate and deflate, are elastic like the alveoliThe balloons are large open spaces whereas the lungs are made up of millions of individual elastic alveoli
Rubber sheet/diaphragmCan be domed up to decrease the volume in the jarThe diaphragm only flattens, it is not pulled downwards like the rubber sheet.
