Water moves through the xylem cells in plants by capillary action. Xylem cells are specialized to conduct water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. The cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules allow them to travel efficiently through the xylem tissue.
A liquid has two properties (amongst many) called cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules/atoms of the liquid itself. Adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules/atoms of the liquid and other substances. Therefore, if the molecules' attraction for another substance is greater than the attraction between the molecules, the molecules will preferentially interact with the other substance. When you have a substance that is more attracted to the walls of a capillary tube than itself (i.e. adhesion > cohesion), the substance will exhibit capillary action and form a concave meniscus. Mercury, however, has a stronger cohesive force between its atoms than adhesive force to the walls of a capillary tube, and therefore will not preferentially interact with the tube, thus not demonstrating capillary action and forming a convex meniscus. Curved surfaces have a higher pressure (called LaPlace pressure) on the concave side of the curve than on the convex side. Because mercury has a convex meniscus it has a lower LaPlace pressure in the capillary than the surrrounding liquid. It will therefore show a capillary drop rather than the more common capillary rise seen with materials that have a concave meniscus like water.

-- A quart of milk is about 94.6% of 1 liter. -- A "16.9-ounce" bottle of water is 1/2 liter. -- A 2-liter bottle of soda is 2 liters.
Yes, you will need to show some form of identification in order to complete a store pick up of an item you ordered online. You can also designate someone else to pick up the item for you, but they will also need to show an ID.

Xylophone is a show and tell item. It begins with X.
In this case, the word "show" is an intransitiveverb.Intransitive verbs are action verbs that do NOT have an object receiving the action. There is no object receiving the action of the verb "show" so the verb is intransitive.
