Answer:

Adhesion and cohesion are water properties that affect every water molecule on Earth and also the interaction of water molecules with molecules of other substances. Essentially, cohesion and adhesion are the "stickiness" that water molecules have for each other and for other substances. Credit: J. Schmidt, National Park Service

Answer:

<h2><u>The water is transported to the top most leaves (and rest of its parts) of a tall tree by three actions: </u></h2><h2><u> </u></h2><h2><u>1) root pressure (osmosis) </u></h2><h2><u> </u></h2><h2><u>2) capillary action (adhesion) </u></h2><h2><u> </u></h2><h2><u>3) evapotranspiration (cohesion)</u></h2>

<u></u>

(Also Capillary action & osmotic pressure can play a key role in this)

<em>The two other properties are:</em>

<h2><u> Adhesion and Cohesion</u></h2><h2><u></u></h2>

Once you have been exposed to an antigen, you develop immunity against the same antigen because
Paha777 [63]
Because an antibody is "made" relative to the antigen, but kept at low levels when you are exposed the first time ("primary immune response"). The second time you're exposed to the same antigen, memory cells recognize it and the body produces a high level of antibodies, and the level of antibodies usually remains higher for a longer time ("secondary immune response"). This is your basic immune response (primary and secondary).

This explains exactly why vaccines are effective to extremely effective.

How do we determine a middle<br> atom without looking at<br> electronegativity?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

An atom's electronegativity gets higher as you move up in the periodic table. Thus, the atoms in the top right have the highest electronegativities and the atoms in the bottom left have the lowest ones.

There are several different kinds of aquatic ecosystems. Bogs get their water from precipitation, so they don't have many Fill i
Ratling [72]
  1. Bogs get their water from precipitation, so they don't have many <u>nutrients</u>.
  2. Marsh plants are adapted to waterlogged <u>soil</u>
  3. Swamps have <u>plants like trees and shrubs</u>.
  4. Rivers always have flowing currents and pick up <u>sediment</u> as they flow.
  5. Lakes are bodies of water on land.  
  6. Wetlands act as filters for nutrients and pollutants dissolved in the water.
  7. Estuaries are wetland regions where freshwater rivers mix with ocean water.

Explanation:

A wetland is a biome which has both water and land that are intermixed in various ways. According to the type of the wetland, the ecosystem differs.

Bogs: Wetland with water from precipitation and no inflow or outflow of surface or ground water.  

Soil: Acidic, infertile with less nutrient content

Vegetation: Acid-loving plants

Swamps: Forest wetlands near rivers and lakes.

Soil: well draining, mineral soil

Vegetation: Trees and bushes. Swamps are classified according to the vegetation, like coniferous swamp, hardwood swamp, shrub swamp etc

Marsh: Wetlands mostly inundated with water leading to waterlogged soil  

Soil: Organic and mineral soil

Vegetation: Hydrophytic plants adapted to waterlogged soil

Estuaries: Wetland regions enclosed by land one side where fresh water mixes with saline ocean water.  

Soil: Saline alkaline soil

Vegetation: Mangrove trees

Rivers and lakes are water bodies that form a part of wetlands.  

Rivers are flowing water bodies which flows through water current and picks up sediments as it flows.

Lakes are stationary water bodies that are enclosed by land mass on all its sides.

The wetlands act as a natural filter and receive all the sediments, pollutants etc which are dissolved in water and carried by the rivers and other water sources.
