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
Biology
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]3 years ago
5 0

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.

how does the presence of white flowers cahnge from the parent generation to first generation of offspring to the second genratio
UNO [17]

Answer:

P generation:  1 purple flower (AA)  :  1 white flower (aa)

F1 generation:  4 purple flowers (Aa)  :  0 white flowers

F2 generation:  3 purple flowers (AA, Aa)  :  1 white flower

Explanation:

Assuming the parents are AA and aa, the allele for white flowers is recessive, so there needs to be two of them for the trait to be expressed.  Thus, the capital A purple allele that the other parent contributes will mask that white allele and all the flowers will appear purple.  However, all of the offspring are Aa now, so when they are crossed, there's a 25% chance that they'll both contribute the lowercase a allele that codes for white flowers.  Remember that if both of them give the lowercase a allele then the offspring will be aa and appear white.
