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.

REY [17]

Neurosecretory cells make and release the hormones from the posterior pituitary. The cell bodies of these neurosecretory cells receive synapses from Afferent neuron and their axon terminals release hormones into blood stream or the local extracellular space.

Neurohormone is  generally produced by neurosecretory cells and liberated by nerve impulses. Neurosecretory cells receive synapses from afferent neurons to guide magnocellular neurons .

A synapse is known as a  small junction at the end of a neuron that allows any signal to pass through one neuron to another. Synapse is a junction were the one neuron get connected with the other neuron .

Water movement from the side of the membrane having a lesser number of particles and greater concentration of water to the side
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a) osmosis.

Explanation:

  • Osmosis can be defined as the physiological process by which molecules (in this case water) tend to move from a region where their concentration is high to a region where their concentration is low by the process of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.
  • Active Transport can be defined as the physiological process in which molecules are forced to move from a region where their concentration is low to a region where their concentration is high across a semi-permeable membrane. This process requires the expenditure of energy and is usually mediated by carrier proteins or integral membrane proteins which span across the plasma membrane.
  • Filtration can be defined as the physical process by which insoluble solute molecules are separated from the solvent molecules by the help of a porous filter paper which allows the solvent molecules to pass through it but restricts the insoluble solute molecules from passing through it.
  • Diffusion can be defined as the physical process by which molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to a region where its concentration is low. However, unlike osmosis, there is no semi-permeable membrane which separates the two regions.
