The correct answer is: A) cohesion-tension

Water movement in xylem of plants is passive process that is driven by pressure and chemical potential gradients. Xylem is plant tissue that transports water from roots to leaves. This upward water flow (against the force of gravity) through the xylem of plants is possible because of water properties.

Cohesion refers to cohesive force between water molecules which attracts them towards each other. As a result surface tension in liquid water occurs.

Tension is the result of transpiration. Negative pressure is generated by the evaporation of water from the leaves (transpiration).  

So, transpiration pull (via capillary action and the inherent surface tension of water) is responsible for water movement upwards.

Is there any type of ecological relationship between wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale? If not, explain why not. If so,
Cerrena [4.2K]

The Prey-Predator relationship is the type of ecological relationship between wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale.

<h3>What do you mean by Ecological relationship?</h3>

The Ecological relationship may be defined as the interaction between the members of one species with respect to the members of the other in response to food, shelter, and space.  

Moose are herbivores and the prey of wolfs. It is clearly seen in the graph that when the population of wolves increases, the number of moose decreases. It states that wolfs feed on moose.

Therefore, the Prey-Predator relationship is the type of ecological relationship between wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale.
