Water can creep up thin tubes In

What else can I help you with?

How do particles move in a glass of water?

I think you mean 'capillarity' which happens in very thin tubes because the adhesive forces between water and glass molecules is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules alone. In narrow tubes, this is enough to pull the liquid up the tube.


How does the celery absorbs the food coloring?

The xylem tubes, tubes that suck up water and minerals in a plant, in the celery plant suck up the food coloring which to the tubes, is water. The tubes then just spread the water/food coloring to other parts of the celery.


How do Xylem tubes work?

Xylem tubes are basically dead cells. Transpiration of water out of the stomata of leaves is really how water is drawn up the tubes. The " pull " is exerted from the roots on up by the polar nature of water and its ability to have adhesive effects.

What names of the tubes and the process that bring water up a plant?

The tubes responsible for bringing water up a plant are called xylem. The process by which water is transported through these tubes is known as transpiration, where water is absorbed by the roots and pulled up through the plant via capillary action and cohesion-adhesion forces.


Why is creep a good name for the type of mass movement?

Cause a Creep creep's up on someone slowly and a Creep is very slow


What property of water explains why it can travel to the tops of trees?

Because of its polarity, water has the unique property of being able to creep up thin tubes. Plants in particular take advantage of this property, called capillary action, to get water from the ground. This is how water can reach the tops of trees. :D


Why is water used as a coolant in the radiators of cars and why does it smell bad?

When water is pumped around a hot engine it gets very hot. It then goes into the top of the radiator and down the thin tubes to the bottom of the radiator. When the car is moving, or if the fan is spinning, the water in the radiators thin tubes is cooled. Then it goes back in the engine, heats up and the process repeats. The water will make the engine rust, so a corrosion inhibitor needs to be added to the water (usually in the form of antifreeze .) If it smells like poo the system probably needs draining and flushing out and then re-filling.


What materials do transport tubes carry up from the root?

Water and nutrients.


What material do transport tubes carry up the roots?

Water and nutrients.


Water and minerals are moved up from plant roots by?

The minerals and water are moved up by capillary action. There are basically many small tubes running up and down the tree. The surface tension of the liquid(s) moves them up the tubes, and so up the plant.


What tubes in the plant's stem transport water?

The other tube that transports water and minerals is the xylem.
