Directions Research the history of terrariums. Find out who developed the first terrarium. What did this particular scientist want to study?
What are the two different types of terrariums?
What are examples of the plant life and animal life that can be found in each type of terrarium? Be specific and include many types of life that could be found.
How is a terrarium different than an aquarium?
Each is a mini ecosystems and a representation of much larger ecosystems found on earth. Describe in detail including plant life and animal life what ecosystem each of these represents.
When the terrarium is sealed which geochemical cycle can be observed?

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
