Capillarity helps life because plants use capillarity to move water from their roots to their leaves. Capillarity is a physical property of water, which can be described as the ability of water to move through very small conduct through molecular tension.This ability is very useful in case of plants, as water travels from roots to leaves.
Answer and Explanation:
The sensory information encoded for by the hair cells in the maculae of the saccule and utricule are:
- the direction and strength of mechanical stimuli (polarity information)
- Response to the head's rotational movement
Functions of the otoliths
The otoliths provide balance, movements and serve as directional indicators in vertebrates. They help higher vertebrates in sound detection.
Functions of the vestibular nuclei
- Maintenance of equilibrium and posture
- Modification of muscle tone
- Relays information to the cerebral cortex
- Directing the movements of the head and eye
- Maintaining the line of vision
Answer:
Option C, It can regulate temperature
Explanation:
Carbon atom is able to form bonds with other carbon atoms or atoms of hydrogen , oxygen , nitrogen , phosphorus etc. A carbon forms a diamond/graphite when it joins cohesively while they form molecules like hydrocarbons, CO2 etc, when it joins adhesively with other than carbon atoms. Thus Option A is incorrect
Since carbon combines with other chemical atoms to form polymers, lipids , proteins etc, as they are adhesive to other than carbon atoms. Option B is also incorrect.
Option C, is a physical phenomena in which carbon compounds do not allow heat to escape from earth and in this way it regulate the temperature of earth. This is not an internal property of carbon and hence option C is correct.
Option D is incorrect as carbon can be easily decomposed along with production of energy by decomposers or by burning the fuels containing carbon.
