Which properties of water are most responsible for the capillary action in plants?

Biology

Capillary action occurs because water is sticky, thanks to the forces of cohesion (water molecules like to stay close together) and adhesion (water molecules are attracted and stick to other substances)

Answer:

The property of "cohesion forces" of the water makes them responsible for the capillary action in the plants.

Explanation:

Water molecules in the soil get pulled into the plant through roots and travel over the vessels and tubes in the stem to various parts of the plant. Leave surface have small pores, named as stomata or guard cells that will help in transpiration or evaporation. This process of transpiration will help the ground water to travel opposite to the gravity and travel all parts of the plant body carrying minerals and essential food particles.

Compare and contrast two of the cycles of matter
Akimi4 [234]
The two cycles of the matter are the carbon and nitrogen cycle. Both of them are biogeochemical cycles, it means that the chemicals spend a portion of the cycle in living things and non-living things. They are also common in that they both recycle nutrients that are essential to all organisms. 

They are different in the manner that they cycle. Nitrogen is huge, 78% of the air around us is nitrogen. It cannot be used by plants or animals. Once the nitrogen is used by the plant and make its way to the animal, it can be released to decomposition. 

Carbon has no requirement in processing by bacteria prior to plants and animals being able to use. Plants take carbon dioxide and make it sugar, animals eat the sugar. Some of it is released carbon dioxide that we exhale.

Why is the Calvin cycle considered a dark reaction?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The correct answer for this question is (D) It can proceed in the dark.

Calvin cycle is named after Melvin C. Calvin, who won a Nobel prize in chemistry for finding it in 1961. Calvin cycle take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis and it is a <u>light-independent reaction so also called as dark reaction.</u>

The Calvin cycle proceeds in three stages:

1. Carboxylation, during which CO2 combines with ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate

2. Reduction, during which carbohydrate is formed at the expense of photochemically made ATP and NADPH

3. Regeneration during which the CO2 acceptor ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate is formed again so that the cycle continues.

Please I need help with this question ASAP:
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

After having a carbohydrate rich meal concentration of some hormones, especially insulin change in your body. Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose by cells(particularly muscle cells, adipocytes, liver cells). It also increases the rate of glycolysis and glycogenesis and decreases the rate of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

These important metabolic pathways cause burning up glucose to make ATP that all cells in our body need and also storing it in the form of glycogen in the liver which is a very important food storage. Metabolism of carbohydrates also causes fat to be deposited in adipocytes which is basically why we have stuff like keto diets(no or very little carbohydrates and mainly fats consumed) for losing weight!
