Which of the following is an example of adhesion in organisms? a. capillary action of liquid in plant stems
b. release of sweat to reduce body heat
c. movement of ions to maintain homeostasis
d. pumping of blood through the circulatory system

a. capillary action of liquid in plant stems

Explanation:

Vascular plants need to transport water from roots to stem and leaves. For this purpose, water molecules adhere to xylem cell walls (xylem is one of the two classes of transport tissues in higher plants). Adhesion, also known as capillary action, is a mechanism produced when water molecules cling to xylem cell walls. Thus, adhesion can be defined as a molecular mechanism caused by the attraction between molecules, in this case, between molecules of the xylem and water molecules.

q: compare the parts of a cell and the cell as a whole to another common nonliving system (i.e., a car, a city,

a:

comparing this to the inside of a food building/company.

all cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which protects the cell from its environment, keeping toxic substances out of the cell. it regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

regulates all cell activity such as cellular metabolism, and growth in addition to storing and maintaining the cell's dna for transcription and replication. determines what proteins to make.

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

the place where ribosomes do their working activity.

builds the proteins.

prepares proteins for use or export.

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell.

maintains cell shape.

transforms one form of energy into another.

answer: - b cells

explanation: -

so, the b cells mediate their action by identifying the antigens present on the surface of the pathogens and then producing antibodies in return to mediate its effect.
