A. If you were designing a pigment to maximize light capture in a new kind of solar array what light absorbing properties would have? b. what molecule in the sumary equation for photosynthesis ends up in the sugars made by photosynthesis?
c. When Jasmine was a baby, her parents planted a jasmine plant weighing 1 kg in a container in their yard with 50 kg of soil. When Jasmine was 18, the plant was estimated to weigh 75 kg. Then it was time to transplant the plant into the family yard so it could continue growing. When the soil in the container was weighed, its mass was 50 kg. Over the years Jasmine's parents neither added nor removed soil from the container with the plant in it. How did the plant increase in mass by 74 kg while the soil did not change in mass and never needed adding to over the years?

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.
