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.

Which kind of force do you exert on an object when you pull it toward you?
Neporo4naja [7]
The answer is A. Applied forces are the unbalanced forces a person applies to another object to change its velocity or direction or to make it accelerate. When we pull an object towards us, we are increasing it’s velocity, so it’s an applied force.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

Chloroplasts are found in Eukaryotic Autotrophs i.e. those who can make their own food with the help of sunlight using carbon dioxide and water. Eukaryotes are Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within a nuclear envelope.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Example:</h3>

The Example of Eukaryotic Autotrophs are Plants and Algae. They are the producers in the food chain also the main source of the oxygen, as they use Carbon Dioxide for a glucose's carbon structure and releases oxygen as By-Product.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Why are they green?</h3>

Chloroplasts get their green color by the presence of chlorophyll, which is the main site for the process of photosynthesis. It is a green photosynthetic pigment found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Chlorophyll absorbs mostly in the blue and all the other colors to the lesser extent while reflecting green. They are present in leaves, and as the chlorophyll reflect green color, Thus the leaves look green to us.

Nesterboy [21]
<span>Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They are like construction guys who connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains. Ribosomes are special because they are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.</span>
