Write a paragraph explaining how adhesion, cohesion, and capillary action all enable water to go from the roots to the top of a

tall tree

ANTONII [103]3 years ago

Answer:

Hey <3

Explanation:

Capillary action pulls water into the root of a tree while the forces of cohesion and adhesion continually move the water up the tall tree.

Water is a polar molecule. Strong hydrogen bonds hold the water molecules together. This is a kind of dipole - dipole interaction and it accounts for the cohesive forces in water.

The forces of adhesion bind water to other surfaces. In the case of plants, the adhesive forces facilitates the interaction of water with the xylem cells.

Water enters into the roots of plants by capillary action. Capillary action alone is insufficient to move the water up the tree.

Hence, the forces of adhesion and cohesion, acting together can help water molecules to move up the top of a tall tree.

Explanation:

Phagocytosis is the process by which cells ingest large particles, including other cells, by enclosing the particles in an extension of the cell membrane and budding off a new vesicle. During pinocytosis, cells take in molecules such as water from the extracellular fluid.

Answer the following questions:
Naddik [55]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system allows us to breathe . They bring oxygen into our body and remove carbon dioxide from the body .

2. Tiny hairs called cilia protect the nasal passageways and other parts of the respiratory tract, filtering out dust and other particles that enter the nose through the breathed air.

3. The throat (pharynx and larynx) is a ring-like muscular tube that acts as the passageway for air, food and liquid. It is located behind the nose and mouth and connects the mouth (oral cavity) and nose to the breathing passages (trachea [windpipe] and lungs) and the esophagus (eating tube).

4. The main function of the epiglottis is to seal off the windpipe during eating, so that food is not accidentally inhaled.

5. The heart pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation and the lungs then give the heart back oxygen rich blood to be transmitted to the whole body

An action potential involves the transfer of _____ and _____ ions across an axon's membrane.
amm1812
An action potential involves the transfer SODIUM and POTASSIUM ions across an axon's membrane.
During depolarization, when the ion channels open, they allow the influx of sodium ions into the cell, thus changing the electro-chemical gradient of the cell, in order to counter balance this, potassium ions will be allowed to flow out of the cell.<span />
