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.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: C. Microevolution is small scale change to the gene pool of a population while macroevolution is larger scale changes that lead to speciation.

Explanation:

Microevolution can be defined as a small change in the gene frequency within a gene pool of the species, these changes will be inherited by the organisms and there will not be any drastic change at the species level. But in case of macroevolution the large scale change occurs at the genetic level, which retain for long. This leads to development of new organisms or results in speciation.

<span>Now that franks in my body, my non-specific immune responses will automatically target him. once my white blood cells notice him they'll begin their counterattack. the basophils in my bloodstream will release a chemical substance called histamine. Histamines cause inflammation and increased blood flow. This brings neutrophils and monocytes to the site. Neutrophils are attracted by inflammation and infection. Like basophils, they, too, contain granules filled with powerful chemicals that are released when they encounter foreign invaders. They can also gobble up these antigens and kill them before they enter the bloodstream.</span>

Which cells in the body are targeted by HIV?
Sindrei [870]
T cells. When HIV arrives in the lymph nodes – around 24 to 48 hours after exposure – they activate other immune cells, such as CD4 t-cells, HIV's primary target.
