Imbibition
What causes water to travel from a plant's roots to its stems?
Imbibition
What are the factors which affect the imbibition process?
cooking of rice, frying fish
Movement of water molecules into porous material causing swelling?
Imbibition
Why is imbibition does not deal with living cells directly?
Imbibition deals with the displacement of fluids primarily by colloidal structures. The degree of displacement is dependent on the matrix structure of the colloid and the mutual affinity with the liquid. Germination of plant seeds is a good example of imbibition, but doesn't deal with living cells directly. In living human cells, imbibition by definition has limited occurrence with the best example being a skin graft. The grafted skin takes in oxygen and nutrients by way of imbibition until normal vascular pathways can be established. Other transport methods involving membrane permeability are more pertinent to cellular structures within the human body. Hope this helps.
What is the first stage of plant germination?
Imbibition i. e. absorption of water by the living cells of the seed.
Consequences of hydrogen bonding?
Major consequences of hydrogen bonding are: - surface tension - capillary action and imbibition - resistance to temperature change
How do you calculate the imbibition pressure of dry seeds?
(final seed-initial gram of the seed)/initial gram o the seed x 100%
Why does the object in the water becomes bigger?
It undergoes imbibition if it is hydrophilic in nature but if its not it simply looks bigger due to refraction of light.and its refracted to our eyes,
