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.

Answer:

incomplete dominance

Explanation:

This is because incomplete dorminance is a type of inheritance pattern in which a dorminant allele does not completely masked the effect of recessive allele. The recessive allele is expressed little and the dorminant. Example is the nose size. The allele for big nose and recessive allele for small nose are not completely dorminant.

1) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is thought of as the "molecular currency" for energy transfer within the cell. Function: ATPs are used as the main energy source for metabolic functions. They are consumed by energy-requiring (endothermic) processes and produced by energy-releasing (exothermic) processes in the cell and Cells store energy in the form of ATP; cells make 36 ATP through cellular respiration.

2) Energy is normally stored long term as carbohydrate, in plants the storage polymer is starch whereas in animals the storage polymer is glycogen. Both of these are formed from the monomer alpha-glucose (C6H12O6). When energy is required by the cell, storage polymers are hydrolysed to yield glucose molecules, which are the starting point of respiration, a series of chemical regions yielding ATP, the universal cellular energy release molecule.

aniked [119]

Answer:

B (active transport using ATP)

Explanation:

Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.

In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).

An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.
