What else can I help you with?
What part of the stem allows the water to move?
The xylem tissue in the stem allows water to move upward from the roots to the rest of the plant. Xylem consists of specialized cells that form tubes for water transport through capillary action and cohesion.
The speed at which a volume of water moves through an aquatic ecosystem is called?
The speed at which a volume of water moves through an aquatic ecosystem is called water flow rate.
What type of diffusion moves water down a concentration gradient through a semi permeable membrane?
Osmosis is the type of diffusion that moves water down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (higher solute concentration).
How does a jellyfish move through the water?
A jellyfish moves through the water by contracting and relaxing its bell-shaped body, pushing water behind it to propel itself forward.
Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?
Water moves from the roots to the leaves of plants through a process called transpiration. This happens because of the cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules, which create a continuous flow of water through the plant's vascular system. The water is essential for photosynthesis and helps transport nutrients throughout the plant.
Xylem moves the water and nutrients in what direction?
Upward
Why does water move inward in the root and upward in the stem?
Water moves inward in the root through a process called osmosis, where it travels from the soil into root cells that have a higher solute concentration. Once inside the plant, water moves upward through the stem via capillary action in the xylem vessels, aided by transpiration, which creates a negative pressure that pulls water upward from the roots to the leaves. This combination of osmotic movement and capillary action ensures efficient water transport throughout the plant.
Water moves from the zone of saturation to the zone of aeration by means of?
gravitational forces pulling water downward, or through capillary action where water is drawn upward through small spaces in the soil.
Why does hot water move?
It moves upward just as hotter air does.
What substance undergoes osmosis?
Water moves across the cell membrane through the process of osmosis.
In how many directions does xylem move water and minerals?
Xylem moves water and minerals in one direction, upward from the roots to the stems and leaves through a process called transpiration.
Water moves through a plant because of the property of?
capillary action
Why does padding left in a canoe steer you right?
Because when you push the water, you are using the opposite force of the way that you want to go. Like on a rocket, the exhaust moves downward, but as a result, the rocket moves upward.
Why does a plant's transport of sugar differ from its transport of water?
Because sugar is transported through phloem and water is transported through xylem.
What type of heat transfer occurs to water boiling in a pot?
The heat transfer in this scenario is primarily through conduction, where heat is transferred from the pot to the water through direct contact. As the water at the bottom of the pot absorbs heat, it becomes less dense and starts to rise, leading to a process of convection where the warmer water moves upward and the cooler water moves downward.
What are the forces acting on a hockey puck sinking through water?
The main forces acting on a hockey puck sinking through water are gravity pulling it downward and buoyancy pushing it upward. Additionally, there is drag force acting in the opposite direction of motion due to water resistance as the puck moves through the water.
When a body move upward in a lift what will be effect on its weight?
When a body moves upward in a lift, its weight will temporarily increase. This is because the lift is exerting an upward force on the body, causing it to experience a higher apparent weight than when it is at rest.
