Cohesion is most directly related to the ability of the plant to do which of the following? A. push sugar down towards the roots with gravity B. bend toward the source of light C. open and close the guard cells D. pull water up the stem against gravity

D. pull water up the stem against gravity

Explanation:

Cohesion exists as hydrogen bonding exists between water molecules, which is the attraction of water molecules by the partially positive charge on the hydrogen and the partially negative charge on the oxygen. This allows water to stay connected as it travels up roots, combating gravity.

the correct answer is option b

behavioral response need communication and thus co-ordination at several levels such as interaction among cells, organ system and the entire organism.

behavioral response produces both internal and environmental stimulus.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
