What is the process in which water is evaporated from trees?
Osmosis through the roots, then capillary action up the trunk and branches.
When water evaporates from the leaves more water moves up through he plant to replace the lost water in the process called?
Capillary action
How a tall tree gets its water to its tips without the aid of mechanical pumps?
The process is called "capillary action". That's where surface tension draws water through small tubes.
What is the basic use of capillary tube?
Capillary tubes are renowned for their capillary action on liquids, i.e. they cause liquids to rise up inside them. Capillary tubes are the essence of thermometers that use a liquid indicator. In biology and the plant world, capillary tubes are fundamental to the movement of fluids through the systems of living organisms.
What is the forcing of water and solutes through plasma membranes by blood pressure?
osmosis
What is the process by which gases move in and out through the capillary walls?
Diffusion ;)
How do liquids travel through plants?
By a process called "capillary" action.
The process by which neutrophils are squeezed through the capillary walls during the inflammatory process is called?
diapedesis
Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?
Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.
What is the name of the process where leukocytes squeeze through capillary walls?
Diapedesis
Mammals lose solutes through?
Mammals lose solutes through urinary excretion, respiration, and sweating. The process that normally exerts the greatest control over water balance of an individual is urinary excretion.
Tiny vessels through which diffusion take place between the blood and the body tissues?
capillarycapillaries
When white blood cells leave the capillaries what is this process called?
they squeeze through capillary walls in a process called diapedesis
What are the applications of capillary action or capillarity?
Capillary action is also essential for the drainage of constantly produced tear fluid from the eye. Paper towels absorb liquid through capillary action. Chemists utilize capillary action in thin layer chromatography, in which a solvent moves vertically up a plate via capillary action. Dissolved solutes travel with the solvent at various speeds depending on their polarity. With some pairs of materials, such as mercury and glass, the interatomic forces within the liquid exceed those between the solid and the liquid, so a convex meniscus forms and capillary action works in reverse.
What is the explanation for the process of capillary exchange?
Capillary exchange is the process by which substances, such as oxygen and nutrients, are exchanged between the blood in capillaries and the surrounding tissues. This occurs through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. The exchange is driven by a concentration gradient and the movement of substances across the capillary wall is regulated by small pores called fenestrations and by the presence of transport proteins.
What structure maintains homeostasis by controlling the concentration of solutes within a cell?
Homeostasis is a process that keeps a cell stable. The cell membrane, through the process of diffusion, works to move solutes down a concentration gradient to aid in homeostasis.
What is the process in which water is evaporated from trees?
Osmosis through the roots, then capillary action up the trunk and branches.
