Dewdrops forming on a leaf's surface is a result of adhesion between the water molecules and the leaf material. Another example is the sap being drawn up through a plant's xylem tubes, which is due to the adhesion of water molecules to the walls of the tubes.

What are two things observed in nature that are the result of adhesion?

When water sticks to surfaces like glass or leaves, forming droplets or films, this is a result of adhesion. Geckos are able to climb vertical surfaces due to the adhesive properties of their toe pads, which enable them to stick to surfaces through adhesion.


How are cohesion and adhesion similar Different?

Adhesion is when the surface of one thing sticks to the surface of another thing. Cohesion is when the parts of one thing stick to each other. Both words have the idea of things sticking together, but adhesion is two different things whereas cohesion is the parts of a single thing.


Do things exist when not observed?

According to quantum physics, things can exist in a state of potentiality when not observed, but their specific state is not determined until they are observed. This is known as the principle of superposition.


Which is a plausible effect?

An effect can not be plausible, it is the result of something - IT IS!! One can however speculate about a CAUSE for the observed effect and debate the plausibility of theories put forward to explain things.


How did Charles Darwin observe things?

He observed things with his eyes :)


What are measurable and immeasurable things?

Measurable things can be quantified or observed, such as weight, temperature, or distance. Immeasurable things cannot be easily quantified or observed, such as emotions, personal beliefs, or creativity.


How does adhesion and cohesion affect each other?

Adhesion is where water molecules stick to other things, and cohesion is where the water molecules stick to each other. The combination of this makes it so that together, they can climb up things like roots of a tree to give the tree water.


What are adhesions?

An adhesion is scar tissue that binds or connects tissues and organs of the body that are normally not connected. Most often adhesion are a cause of surgery. An example may be an abdominal adhesion, which can cause kinks or twists in the intestines which results in intestinal obstruction which has the potential of being life threatening. However, most of the time an adhesion will not cause problems with the body.


What do cohesive surface tension and adhesion have in common with reference to water?

Cohesion: When things stick to each other (WATER) Adhesion: When things stick to other things (ALSO WATER) Surface Tension: a property of the surface of a liquid that causes it to behave as an elastic sheet. Think of it as the thing that helps insects to glide along the water. (ALSO WATER)


What do nerve cell adhesion molecules do?

The nerve cell adhesion molecules do a number of things which include releasing energy for metabolic activities. This will also be responsible for the distribution of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in nervous system that are developing.
