When water is being transported from the roots to the leaves of a plant or tree, water vapor eventually escapes through air spac

es in the plant or tree. More water travels up to replace the lost water due, in part, to the ________________ of water. A) low mass B) heat capacity C) cohesive forces D) high boiling point

Answer: C). Cohesive forces

Cohesion is the property of water, which allows the molecules of water to remain stick together as a single mass. The process of evaporation causes loss of water from the air spaces of the plant. To compensate the loss of water, the water is pulled by roots. The cohesive force present between water molecules allows to pull water through roots and transfer to the stem and leaves along the xylem tissue.

Inga [223]

Answer:

"Last week, you looked at both animal & plant cells. Both of these cells were diploid somatic eukaryotic. This week, you'll be looking at a different, but very important, type of cell: sexual cells. Two gametes, one from a female & one from a male, merge during the process of fecundation/fertilization to form a zygote. All in the organism will develop from this initial diploid cell".

Explanation:  

There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic cells that can not form any gametes, and germ cells that are in charge of gamete production. Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle dividing and becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation after mitosis.

Somatic cells are any cell in the body excepting from sperm and egg cells. These somatic cells are diploid, they contain two chromosomes sets, each one inherited from each parental. Mutations in somatic cells affect the individual but the progeny does not inherit them. In this sense, these cells do not contribute to anything to inheritance terms through genetics.

Germ cells are the reproductive diploid cells, and the sexual organs (testes and ovaries) are the ones that produce them. These cells might suffer mitosis to form more sexual cells, and then a few of them suffer meiosis giving place to haploid gametes called sperm and egg cells through the gametogenesis process. Each germ cell produces 4 haploid gametes after meiosis.  

Gametes´destiny is to merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffer successive mitosis to form the new organism.

Why are so many eggs produced by invertebrates?
klasskru [66]
An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals.

Reptile eggs, bird eggs, and monotreme eggs are laid out of water, and are surrounded by a protective shell, either flexible or inflexible. Eggs laid on land or in nests are usually kept within a favorable temperature range (warm) while the embryo grows. When the embryo is adequately developed it hatches, i.e. breaks out of the egg's shell. Some embryos have a temporary egg tooth with which to crack, pip, or break the eggshell or covering.

Placing pressure on a cut will constrict blood vessels manually, and encourages ________.
Makovka662 [10]
I am certain that placing pressure on a cut will constrict blood vessels manually, and encourages vascular spasms. 
Vascular spasms are sudden, brief tightening of the muscle cells inside the walls of a blood vessels. It is the first response as the blood vessels constrict to allow less blood to be lost. In the second step, platelet plug formation, platelet stick together to form a temporary seal to cover the break in the vessel wall, the third step is the coagulation or blood clotting.
