Cohesion pulls it part of the way up but then transpiration gets it the rest of the way. (Transpiration is not a property of water)

Can water travel upwards?

water cannot travel upwards, because 1) gravity 2) there is a property of water that does not allow it to flow upwards Water can move upwards by capillary action, forced upwards by a pump or natural geyser, it can be carried upwards and can rise in the form of steam or vapour.


If a barbell weight 160 N What other information do you need to calculate how much work it takes to lift it?

To calculate how much work it takes to lift the barbell, you will need to know the height you are lifting it to (distance over which the force is applied) and the angle at which you are lifting the barbell (if not directly against gravity). These factors will allow you to calculate the work done against gravity using the formula: Work = Force x Distance x cos(angle).


Does capillary action defy gravity?

Capillary action does not defy gravity; it is a result of intermolecular forces, specifically adhesive forces between the liquid and a solid surface, which allow liquids to move against gravity in narrow spaces like tubes or porous materials. This phenomenon occurs because the adhesive forces between the liquid molecules and the solid surface are stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules themselves.


If gravity pulls things down how come plans fly and not get puuled down?

Planes are able to fly because they generate lift by moving air over their wings through propulsion from engines. This lift force counteracts the force of gravity, allowing the plane to overcome the downward pull and stay in the air.


Do gyroscopes defy gravity?

No, gyroscopes do not defy gravity. They operate based on the principle of angular momentum and are subject to the same gravitational forces as any other object. The unique properties of gyroscopes allow them to maintain their orientation and resist being easily disturbed by external forces, but gravity still affects them.

How are the skeletal and muscular systems connected to allow an animal to accomplish movement?

muscles help to tie bones of the skeleton together and supplement the skeleton in supporting the body against the gravity.


What property of water makes it move upward from the roots?

because of water's cohesion property, which is its ability to stick to itself and it adhesion property, which mean that water can stick to other material, it can travel upward in a plant. also, the plant's tube is very small, which allow water to overcome gravity and travel upward.


What are examples of stimulus reaction in plants?

Examples of stimulus reaction in plants include phototropism (response to light), gravitropism (response to gravity), thigmotropism (response to touch), and hydrotropism (response to water). These responses allow plants to adapt to their environment and optimize their growth and survival.


What legal action can be taken in the state of Texas for charge off debt?

The creditor/lender can file a lawsuit in the appropriate court of the debtor's state. If the creditor wins the suit a judgment will be entered against the debtor. A judgment can be executed against the debtor's nonexempt property/assets including jointly owned marital property and assets, as Texas is a CP state. The state does not allow wage garnishment for creditor judgments but it does allow bank levy, seizure and liquidation of nonexempt property and liens against real property (a forced sale of a primary residence is not allowed). The exemptions that are allowed in bankruptcy are the same ones available to the debtor when defending property against a judgment creditor. In addition, the debtor may be able to use federal non-bankruptcy exemptions to further protect personal and real property from creditor attachment.


When does a land becomes a marital property?

When it is acquired during marriage, especially in a community property state. Separate property states allow certain property to remain separate and not subject to division in a divorce.When it is acquired during marriage, especially in a community property state.

What is the biological importace of water's cohesive and adhesive properties?

Water's cohesive properties allow it to stick to itself, aiding in the transportation of nutrients and waste within organisms. Its adhesive properties help water to adhere to surfaces, facilitating processes like capillary action in plants and allowing for the formation of a thin layer of water on cell membranes for cellular activities.


What is the worst thing that can happen in Pennsylvania if you owe credit card debt and don't pay it?

The person can be sued and if the plaintiff wins a judgment they can execute the judgment against any non-exempt property belonging to the debtor. Pennsylvania does not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt issues, but it does allow bank account levies, liens against real property and in some cases the seizure and forced liquidation of non-exempt assets.


How does capillary action work in plants and trees?

Capillary action in plants and trees is the process by which water is drawn up from the roots through tiny tubes called xylem. This happens due to the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules, which allow them to move upwards against gravity. As water evaporates from the leaves, more water is pulled up through the xylem to replace it, helping to transport nutrients and water throughout the plant.


Most fungi that live among the roots of plants are what to the plants?

Some fungi allow an exchange of nutrients between the plant and fungi such as phosphate and nitrates. The fungi also allows for defense against certain insects and pests.
