To model the movement of water through the stem of plants, a scientist placed capillary tubes of different diameters in shallow pools of water. The scientist noticed that the water would climb up the capillary tubes to different heights. The height of each water column is plotted. Part A:
Identify a property of water that contributes its movement through the capillary tubes. Explain how the molecular structure of water contributes to this property.
Plants use a similar mechanism to move water through their stems. In a specific species of plant, the vessels are approximately 0.3 mm in diameter.
Part B:
Estimate how tall this species of plant can grow. Explain how the molecular structure of the vessels can be modified to increase the maximum height of the plant without changing the diameter of the vessels.

Assume that you are interested in separating short (200-400 bp) dna molecules from a pool of longer molecules in the 10,000-20,000 nucleotide range. you have two recipes for making your polyacrylamide gels: one recipe uses 1.5 percent agarose and would be considered a β€œhard gel,” while the other uses 0.5 percent agarose and would be considered a loose gel. which gel should you use to separate the short (200-400 bp) dna molecules from a pool of longer molecules in the 10,000-20,000 nucleotide range?
