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.

Why is the body so carefully organized, from small levels up to large
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: In multicellular organisms, including humans, all cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the body work together to maintain the life and health of the organism. To make sure your body can work correctly, even when it does many things at once, your body must be carefully organized. The smallest unit of our organization, our smallest part, is the cell. (which makes up muscles) can shorten to make your body move.

A temperate deciduous forest is dominated by oak trees, which produce acorns. Populations of deer, black deer, and squirrels all
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: B) Black bears, deer, and squirrels would undergo a mass extinction, so the forest’s biodiversity would decrease.

Limiting factor is a factor which limit the growth, distribution and abundance of  population of one or more species in an ecosystem. A limiting factor can be natural or man-made. Natural limiting factor includes resources (food, shelter and water), abundance in predator population, natural disasters like landslide and earthquakes. Man-made limiting factors include deforestation, forest fires and nuclear explosions.

Here, oak trees can be considered as limiting factor. Oak trees are source of food resource in temperate deciduous forest. Cutting down of these trees will affect the populations of animals residing in the forest. As, populations of beer, black deer, and squirrels all rely on the acorns obtain from oak trees, cutting down of trees will result in mass extinction of black bears, deer, and squirrels. Hence, the diversity of animals in forest would decrease.
